This week I would like to tell you a little about my story and the reasons why I created Bon App!
As a child, I was regularly at my grandmother’s house, splitting my time between climbing trees, and watching my grandmother improvising behind her oven, creating recipes without measuring her ingredients and recipes which she alone mastered.
My many travels gave me my taste for discovering the cuisines of the world, the flavors of home and away. Even when I was a child, when I was traveling with my parents, sampling a country’s culinary specialties was always my families’ priority, as well as trying to recreate them when we returned home.
Full of this passion for food, and wanting to better understand it, I embarked on studying agro-food engineering before I specialized in sensory and nutrition. It was during these years of study that I frantically practiced cooking for others to make my roommates and friends happy (at least most of the time!).
15 years in the largest food group in the world followed, where I created a sensory department to ensure the food was of the highest quality and nutritional value, before working to promote its benefits.
But it is also during these exciting and very engaging years that I lost my passion for cooking, simply because of a lack of time, and switched to quick solutions that were less tasty, repetitive and boring.
Dissatisfied with the way we were eating, my wife and I tried in vain to remedy it. But eating balanced, varied and seasonal, requires time, planning and effort.
That’s why, when leaving the corporate world, I decided to create Bon App and provide a turnkey solution for everyone with the desire to eat healthier and happier.
