Florence Oustau, ambassador chef for plant-based cuisine
Meet Florence Oustau, chef and trainer, founder of Zest de Flow (31) and Lin des Pyrénées ambassador for plant-based cuisine.

Florence Oustau, chef, trainer and founder of Zest de Flow (31), joins the circle of Lin des Pyrénées ambassador chefs. A meeting born of a shared conviction: putting plants back at the heart of the plate, with high standards, pleasure and nutritional common sense.
Chef, trainer, vegetarian cuisine, Zest de Flow (31)
Based in the Haute-Garonne, Florence guides individuals and professionals towards vegetarian and plant-based cooking that is indulgent, accessible and healthy. Her workshops, courses and catering-consultancy services make Zest de Flow a go-to address for anyone who wants to rethink their diet without giving up on taste.
Flax, an ally at the heart of her cooking
As a vegetarian chef, I see flaxseed in vegetarian and plant-based diets as a rich source of plant protein and essential fatty acids such as omega 3 and 6.
In her recipes, Florence gives pride of place to our whole flaxseeds, flaxseed flour and virgin linseed oil to bring texture, fibre, plant protein and omega 3 - gluten-free and without unnecessary additions.
A meeting that makes sense
"I am always on the lookout for good products from local or French production. Meeting Christelle and discovering the story of Lin des Pyrénées won me over, both on the human side and on quality. The products are of high quality and very interesting to work with or to eat unprocessed."
"As flax is gluten-free, it remains an alternative for the clients I support who have coeliac disease."
Florence’s recipes
Find all of Florence Oustau’s recipes on our blog: egg-free cookies, nori seaweed tarama, courgette waffles, savoury granola, vegan mayonnaise, flaxseed crackers… An indulgent selection for exploring every facet of flax in everyday cooking.
