The taste of good things

"I had the chance to grow up with people who liked good food", explains Mathilde Seigner.

"So, very young, I got passionate about cooking, I saw my parents cooking and my grandmother. We always had good dishes to taste."

A need to eat healthy and gourmet that has not left the actress.

"The older I get the more careful what I eat. I would rather not eat than eat a piece of meat that I don't know where it comes from."

This is why in her favorite district of the 5th arrondissement of Paris, the actress knows all the small traders from whom she will get her supplies.

"At least there, I know what I'm buying and I am very well advised, I love it."

A culinary knowledge that she has therefore been able to appreciate since childhood in a good-natured and family spirit.

As this anecdote with her grandfather shows, which she remembers with amusement: "I don't know why but one of my childhood flavors that I have left is Chartreuse. A liqueur that my grandfather I had a taste when I was little ... I dipped my piece of sugar in it and hop, I tasted. Since then, the most astonishing is that I never took it again but it is a memory that marked me. "
