Le Chef’s Wife began with a love story.

At 23, Canadian-American business student Anina Giannini travelled to Nice, France, where she met her future husband, Sébastien, a French chef from Toulon. Together, they spent eight years living in Nice and Antibes before their careers brought them to Montreal and Washington, DC.

Anina created Le Chef’s Wife in 2018 to preserve their family recipes and make French cooking feel less intimidating for North American home cooks. What began as a personal project has grown into a nationally recognized food and lifestyle platform known for authentic French recipes, accessible instruction, elegant entertaining and an intimate connection to the South of France.

Today, Anina brings together a 20-year career in luxury hospitality, professional communications expertise and the lived experience of building a French-American family with a renowned chef. Sébastien contributes the culinary knowledge of a career that began in Michelin-starred kitchens and has taken him through leading hotels and restaurants in France, Canada and the United States.

Together, they offer audiences something difficult to manufacture: genuine expertise, a compelling story and a trusted invitation into French life.
