A self-taught cook, Delphine grew up in Bordeaux where she went to art school before moving to Paris to work a variety of jobs, from set design for film, to assisting the artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster. After having her son Diego in 2005 with her partner, chef Iñaki Aizpitarte, she started working part time catering shoots for a photo studio. Then after a few gigs in the kitchen at some cool foodie spots around Paris, she decided to open her own place.
