Let's be honest: Béatrice wasn't always the organized, efficient cooking goddess you see today. In fact, there was a time when her kitchen looked like a crime scene after every meal. Pots everywhere. Spices scattered. And don't even ask about the state of her cutting board. Her husband used to joke that entering the kitchen after Béatrice cooked was like walking through a culinary war zone.
The turning point? A random Tuesday morning when she was late for work, the kids were screaming for breakfast, and she realized she had 15 minutes to make something edible. That's when her sister-in-law gifted her an Air Fryer. "You just throw food in and press a button," she said. Béatrice was skeptical. But desperate times call for desperate measures.
That first breakfast (slightly burned toast and overcooked eggs, but hey, it was FAST) changed everything. She started experimenting. One appliance became two. Two became five. Before she knew it, Béatrice had transformed into what Chef Heinze lovingly calls "The Appliance Whisperer".
Speaking of Chef Heinze, their first meeting at QuickyCooking was legendary. Heinze walked in with his outdoor cooking setup, garlic in hand, ready to preach the gospel of traditional cooking. Béatrice showed up with her Instant Pot, Air Fryer, and Slow Cooker. "You're telling me you can make risotto in 7 minutes?" Heinze asked, skeptical. She smiled, pressed a button, and seven minutes later, handed him a bowl of perfect, creamy risotto. He's been a believer ever since.
But Béatrice isn't just about speed. She's about making cooking accessible, fun, and stress-free. As a working mom with two kids, a full-time job, and approximately zero spare time, she understands the struggle. That's why she became obsessed with finding ways to make home cooking actually work for real people with real lives.
Her philosophy? "If a recipe requires more than 30 minutes of active work, it's not realistic for most people." And she practices what she preaches. Every single recipe she creates for QuickyCooking is tested in her own chaotic kitchen, with kids running around, work calls interrupting, and life happening in the background.
What makes Béatrice special is her ability to break down complicated cooking techniques into simple, appliance-friendly steps. She works closely with the entire QuickyCooking team – Laurence helps her perfect the nutritional balance, the twin sisters Céline and Cécile bring unique perspectives (Céline with her French flair and elegant presentations, Cécile testing every recipe from a beginner's perspective), Noémie keeps her organized (a full-time job in itself), and Vanessa makes sure the photography captures the delicious reality, not just Instagram-worthy fiction.
Today, Béatrice's mission is simple but powerful: prove that you don't need hours in the kitchen to feed your family amazing food. You just need the right appliances, good recipes, and the willingness to press a few buttons. Her specialty? Taking classic comfort food and making it work in modern kitchen appliances.
From Air Fryer crispy chicken that rivals KFC to Instant Pot beef stew that tastes like it simmered for hours (spoiler: it didn't), Béatrice has mastered the art of making technology work for home cooks, not against them.
And yes, she still creates chaos in the kitchen sometimes. But now? It's organized chaos. The kind where the Air Fryer is making appetizers, the Slow Cooker is handling the main course, and the Instant Pot is prepping dessert. All at the same time. Because when you're Béatrice, you don't just cook – you orchestrate.
