Pascale Beale

Surrounded by a family passionate about food, wine and the arts, Pascale Beale grew up in England and France where she learnt classical French culinary techniques from her grandmother, and Provençal-Mediterranean cooking from her mother. With a deep-rooted love for cooking at an early age, and later encouraged and inspired by her friendships with Julia Child, Michel Richard and Alain Giraud, she founded Pascale’s Kitchen in 1999, a Santa Barbara, California-based cooking school devoted to California-Mediterranean cuisine. In addition to being a highly sought-after guest chef at events throughout California, and a favorite presenter and lecturer at wineries in Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez Valley, Pascale is the author of the highly acclaimed Salade: Recipes From the Market Table, Les Fruits: Savory and Sweet Recipes from the Market Table and the four-volume Mediterranean-influenced cookbook series, A Menu for All Seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. With several new titles in development Les Legumes: Vegetable dishes from the Market Table (released in Nov 2017) is her eighth cook book. In 2016 Ms. Beale launched a Mediterranean food based cooking channel on YouTube. Ms. Beale is also a regular columnist in Edible Santa Barbara magazine and has been published in Food and Home, Santa Barbara Magazine, 805 Living, Carpinteria Magazine, Coastal View News, and Santa Barbara Seasons.
