Madeleine Vedel

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

Having just returned from Provence filled with scents and flavors, textures and beauty I’m delighted to offer my spring 2026 choices - some familiar, some new - with a wider selection in elegant molded shapes - inspiring me to make even more luscious centers.  Let me be your gift solution for upcoming spring events.

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 the Boyne City Saturday market (with the possibility of the Fiber Shed as a meet-up spot post market).
