My Story with Black Garlic

My name is Véronique. I’m a black garlic maker and organic artisan based in Occitanie, in the south of France.
Since 2019, I’ve been turning local garlic varieties — pink Lautrec, white Lomagne and purple Cadours — into black garlic, certified organic.

I wrote two books to share this journey:
a guide to making black garlic yourself,
and a cookbook to use it in your everyday cooking — from soups to cocktails.

My Approach

Making black garlic accessible through a simple, proven method.

The How-To Guide

Passionate about black garlic, I’ve developed my own techniques — easy to follow, tested over time, and suitable for both home cooks and small-scale food artisans. This guide helps anyone — from curious gourmets to health-conscious beginners, and even professionals — to diversify their offerings with a unique and natural ingredient. .

The Recipes

Over the years at farmers' markets and food fairs, one question kept coming back: “We love black garlic… but how do we cook with it ?” As a former chef, I created this recipe book to make things simple — yet complete. It’s packed with real-world ideas that anyone can make, from appetizers to desserts.
