About Me
Celine Cossou-Bordes is a self-taught cooking instructor with more than 15 years of teaching experience, and a lifelong passion for healthy cooking.
Born in Paris and raised in the south of France, she essentially discovered cooking as a child through her mother, who had herself inherited her talents and recipes from a long family tradition of fine cooking.
After extensive travels throughout Europe and Mediterranean countries, Celine migrated to New York City, another mecca of fine cuisine with her husband in 1993. There they started a company specializing in gourmet and cooking tours to France. Working in collaboration with some of the most renowned French chefs and Food Network-style celebrities that started the trend of healthy cooking in France in the late 70s and early 80s (Michel Guerard, Alain Ducasse, Rene Berard), the company quickly became a leader in the United States with more than 5,000 trips organized every year.
After the tragedy of 9/11, she decided to move on and take some needed free time in order to raise a family. Pregnant with twins, she found herself surrounded with nannies, babysitters, new moms, and moms-to-be with absolutely no clue on how to feed and cook for their kids and family.
In 2007 Celine decided to jump again on her favorite horse and created Celine's Cuisine, a company specializing in healthy-cooking education and healthy-meals catering.
Today she is conducting cooking classes for adults, teenagers, and kids at various local Inland Valley/San Diego community centers. Twice a month she volunteers at Head Start Murrieta School to teach cooking classes for kids. She is also developing recipes for local vendors, contributes monthly to various local magazines (Neighbors, Living Valley) and also provides catering services for private parties and corporate events throughout Southern California.

Here's breakfast (or dessert) in a jiffy. It doesn't get any easier than this. It's OK to take a little help from the store sometimes, especially when you're pressed for time, and here, we use some ready-made vanilla cake baking mix from...

Here's an easy, savory pie that's perfect for an on-the-go lunch. Ricotta, coppa, and salami give this delicious pie an Italian touch, and since the rest of the ingredients are probably already in your pantry, this recipe keeps the shopping to a...
