About Gaby – Quaint French Living

Bonjour and welcome to Quaint French Living — I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Gaby Buller, the creator of Quaint French Living, a French lifestyle blog dedicated to simple French cooking and seasonal living. I’m the daughter of a French mother and an American father, raised on slow meals, seasonal food, and everyday rituals that make life beautiful.

Growing up, I spent nearly every summer in France with my family, where I learned that living well isn’t complicated — it’s about good ingredients, a cozy kitchen, and time shared with people you love.

As a physician with nearly two decades of experience, I’ve seen how deeply food, lifestyle, and daily rhythms shape long-term health. The traditional French way of living — rooted in whole, unprocessed foods, seasonality, and intentional routines — proves that pleasure and health can truly go hand in hand.

Here at Quaint French Living, you’ll find:

  • Simple French cooking made approachable — from rustic desserts to everyday basics.
  • Seasonal living ideas inspired by life in France — gentle, practical, and beautiful.
  • French pantry staples that make weeknight cooking easier and more delicious.

Throughout my posts, you’ll often see a short Nourishing Perspective — a gentle note on how French cooking and traditions can support well-being as much as they delight the senses.

If you’re new, a lovely place to start is the French Pantry Starter Kit — the essentials I keep on hand to make simple, satisfying meals all year long.

A little more about me

I live in the U.S. with my family, though my roots reach back to southwest France, near Toulouse, where my mother’s family still lives. My kitchen leans rustic and unfussy — a wooden board, a French rolling pin, and a jar of fleur de sel always within reach.

I love baking and copper! I’ve been known to tuck a copper pot or two into my luggage after a trip to France. More than anything, I find joy in nurturing my family and home — in the quiet rhythms of cooking, gathering, and creating beauty in everyday life.

Let’s stay in touch

I send a cozy newsletter with seasonal recipes and small notes on French living.

— Gaby
