Chef and author Andrea Jourdan has developed her culinary skills over the past twenty years in France, Italy, the U.S.A. and Canada. Her knowledge of Mediterranean cuisine is unsurpassed. Andrea learned to become a chef in Paris working alongside 3 Michelin Star chefs such as Bernard Loiseau and Joël Robuchon, but it was in Los Angeles that she opened her first restaurant, Chez Toi Chez Moi, featuring authentic French country cooking that celebrated the seasonal table.

“Los Angeles was the most fantastic place to open a restaurant. Not only is the clientele great and open-minded, but the support among the chefs was incredible; a great learning experience.”

In the late eighties, Andrea opened her second restaurant Salsifi in Montreal, where she won accolades as best new chef. She then spent over 20 years in Europe honing her skills when it comes to both traditional and modern cuisine.

In February 2020, she worked as Executive Chef at Chez Andrea Gourmet Provence (CAGP) in Boynton Beach, Florida, as did her daughter. Unfortunately the Covid pandemic began one month after the official opening, forcing the restaurant to temporarily stop its operations, despite its immediate success! Mother and daughter currently try their best to operate CAGP as a catering business and a Chef-at-Home delivery service.
