Going by the nickname “Jilou” (find her on the platform X, when her account is not private – @Jiloooou) and with a not so unofficial successful Instagram profile, JY Cuisine (IG: @JYCuisine), this ambitious French Guianese is a self made chef. Yet you will not find in her journey any fancy five stars culinary experiences or awards from gastronomic restaurants or Michelin stars. Jilou, which real name is still unknown to the Internet, has proven that passion and dedication for your own craft get you in places that networking and big advertising budgets cannot get you into, even if you tried that influencer game!
With 38,200 followers, Jilou has excelled both as an influencer and a pop up caterer with sold out food boxes. The food poisoning incident in her very first event in Paris was independent of her own hard work and cooking… as explained by the event location:
About the importance of not being jealous or fearful of other people’s success
In this economy, every success story feel like our own. Yardies Food & Afribean are just proud to have noticed her FIRST as a business (customers were already in the knows). There is no harm in advertising a future star with no string attached. We might work or not work together in the future, the present looks too bright thanks to her drive to succeed and satisfy her customers to be concerned.
Apologies from the Event location about their organisation
