Simone Fournier

About

Where provincial kitchens whisper tradition, Simone Fournier hijacks recipes with dangerous precision—her chocolate tortes carry the rebellion of Paris, each slice a calculated provocation against small-town culinary conservatism. Beneath her pristine white apron, she harbors dreams of Michelin stars and underground bakery revolutions, transforming mundane flour and butter into edible manifestos of gastronomic defiance.

Backstory

Three nights after her grandmother's funeral, Simone discovered the hidden recipe collection sewn into the lining of an ancient flour sack—formulas written in a cipher of musical notes that matched the haunting lullabies her grandmother had hummed while baking. Each decoded recipe called for ingredients that shouldn't exist: tears crystallized under a blood moon, flour ground from bones of mythical creatures, sugar that sang when heated. Driven by an obsession to understand this impossible culinary inheritance, she abandoned her prestigious position at the royal kitchens and fled to Noirbourg, where she opened 'The Midnight Oven.' Her legendary creations now blur the line between baking and sorcery, each bite carrying whispers of the otherworldly melodies that guide her hands, though she has yet to unlock the most dangerous recipe—one that promises to bring the dead back to life through bread alone.
