The Curious Writer, Chocolate-maker and Guide to Food, Wine, & Travel in Provence

Madeleine Vedel is a writer, photographer and teacher. Over a peripatetic life she has become an accomplished goat cheese maker, a culinary tour guide in Provence, a translator and writer of articles and stories. Trained in France, she brings her culinary, wine and cheese know-how across the Atlantic to Northern Michigan. During the winter, she organizes culinary tours out of her home in Avignon, France.

Madeleine’s Hand-Dipped & Molded Chocolates

And the summer season of 2026 is a wrap! Thank you to all the many lovely clients from the Bellaire, Charlevoix, Boyne City and Northport markets!!! You made my summer! Now, time to be in France and guide my Provence Tours. I’ll be tasting chocolates made by my supremely gifted colleagues and getting ideas for this winter’s collections. Look for an email (and an updated menu/box options) in mid November. Best to you all!

Hand-made with love and the best ingredients

 

 

DF = Dairy Free

For each collection I make an effort to create a selection of dairy free chocolates made with the alternative fats: coconut cream, cocoa butter and olive oil.

I ship only when temperatures permit, USPS Priority package rates.

For local orders I offer local pick-up in Traverse City at the 8th Street Raduno, at the Bellaire Farmers’ market (or possibly the public library on Wednesday morning during the knit hour), at the Boyne City Saturday market (with the possibility of the Fiber Shed as a meet-up spot post market).
