Pascale Beale brings you the essence of cooking in California, the Mediterranean and beyond.
Pascale Beale grew up in England and France surrounded by a family which has always been passionate about food, wine and the arts. She was taught to cook by her French mother and grandmother. After graduating from Business School in London, and 15 years working in the property and financial markets in California, she returned to her first passion, cooking. She has, over the past 18 years, written 10 cookery books, hundreds of articles for local newspapers, food magazines, and is a multi-award winning columnist for Edible Santa Barbara.
Her first five cookbooks A Menu for All Seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter focused on Mediterranean style seasonal eating.
Since 2014 Pascale has focused on ingredient driven books starting with Salade: Recipes from The Market Table which was released to great acclaim in 2014. The first edition sold out in only 14 weeks. Les Fruits: Savory and Sweet Recipes From The Market Table followed in January 2016, and Les Legumes: Vegetable Recipes from the Market Table, in November 2017. After selling out of the fourth printing of Salade, Pascale released a new, larger and updated version, Salade II: More Recipes From The Market Table in January 2020.
The Pascale's Kitchen Cooking Channel was launched on YouTube in September 2016 with videos showcasing seasonal, Mediterranean and Californian inspired dishes. In March 2020, with the coronavirus shutdown and the cancellation of her book tour for her latest book, Salade II, Pascale launched an IGTV channel on Instagram with daily episodes showcasing easy to make dishes while quarantined at home and also launched (in April 2020) a new series of virtual cooking classes, hosted on Zoom.
In late 2021 Pascale Kitchen reopened to in person classes and now specializes in Farmer’s Market tours, seasonal cooking classes, bread making workshops and Team Building Events.
Launched in December 2022, (and ongoing throughout 2024,) Pascale released her latest book, 9’ x 12’: Adventures in a Small Kitchen, Recipes for Stirring Times, a subscription based, multi-media book 9 x 12 | Pascale's Kitchen | Pascale Beale | Substack
Her company, Pascale’s Kitchen, brings a range of culinary products, including her signature line of custom blended herbs and spices, oils and vinegars, as well as exquisite kitchen and tableware, to its customers, making cooking pleasurable, delicious and fun.
