Nitockrees Tadros Carpita, CCP
The Mas de Cornud's Ecole de Cuisine is the inspiration
of Nitockrees Carpita. "Nito" was born in Cairo, Egypt where she learned to cook
at her mother's side, using the fresh ingredients common to both sides of the
Mediterranean. After a career in the hospitality and financial industries, Nitockrees furthered her culinary education in France and began her career as a full time culinary professional at Mas de Cornud in 1993 as resident instructor and director. Her culinary background in the countries of the eastern Mediterranean and many years of living in Provence result in a cuisine that blends the best of the common ingredients of the region while preserving the authenticity of the Provençal dishes. Besides France, Nitockrees has taught in the United States, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. She has attained the title of Certified Culinary Professional, (CCP) under the auspices of the IACP. A budding cookbook author, her recipes appear in Sarah Leah Chase's Pedaling Through Provence, The Backroads Cookbook and in Fromages Fermiers by Georges Foveau.
