Paule Beke Biography – Paule Beke Wiki

Paule Beke is a chef and contestant on MasterChef: The Professionals 2024. She is the owner of Douceurs D’Ivoire, a private catering company based in London.

After school, Paule studied a business degree and worked in the corporate world as a project manager. She always knew cooking was her passion and retrained as a chef 10 years ago. The acclaimed Michelin-trained chef specializes in Afro-fusion cuisine, French, Middle Eastern, Asian and European.

Paule was inspired to become a chef by her parents. She told the BBC: “My dad was a chef and my mom a great cook. We always threw big parties, entertaining and catering for guests at home. I was always part of that but never thought of it as a career – just something I loved. It was only when I started working in the corporate world that I realised I wanted to make my passion into a career. In the kitchen I feel like a maestro who creates a symphony of tastes, something I really own and forget about the rest.”

Paule describes her style of cooking as “bold and full of flavour.” She added: “I like to take Ivorian or other African ingredients and dishes and pair them with French or Western techniques. Food, for me, is full of emotion and I create my dishes inspired by people I meet, memories, seasons and places I’ve visited. I am providing a cooking of emotions to nurture the body and soul.”

Originally from Ivory Coast, Paule has lived in France, UK, Israel, Belgium, Germany, Poland, and several other countries.
