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 Chocolates

What a glorious summer it has been! Thank you to my many clients (and so many repeat and faithful ones!) at both the Bellaire and the Boyne City outdoor markets. I am now closing shop until Thanksgiving. I will be in France to manage my tours there, to taste more chocolate, and to pack my bags with many a lovely ingredient for future batches. I’ll be back in the States in early November, ready to get back to chocolate making and to let you know what my Winter 2025 selection will be.
