Her eldest evolves far from the cameras : she is the proud owner of the consulting company Shazaam Consulting, based in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. As for his second daughter, she follows in her father's footsteps… without, however, having followed exactly the same path.

Situations that echo our daily lives, with good-natured cooking and lots of laughter.

A taste for creation that she passed on to her daughter… and which comes from her mother, her maternal grandmother. “Grandma Francette”as she was nicknamed by her granddaughter, specialized in cooking (yes, her too) by offering a daring mix: the original cuisine of Berry, her family's native region, with a touch of Lebanese influence . A touch of fantasy found in the cook's dishestwo generations later.

For the eldest, no first name has filtered out, his mother having simply shared a photo for his very first return to school. Internet users only know one thing: he was born in 2016. For the second boy, on the other hand, Louise's followers have a first name: Basile was born in 2020. Who is the daddy? How is the daily life of these two little boys? So many questions to which Louise Denisot does not wish to provide any answers. Because the cooker is in the image of her art: astonishingly simple. But above all, far from rhinestones and sequins, contrary to what his famous last name might suggest.
