Born in Hong Kong to a Chinese father and Austrian mother, Claudia Shaw-d’Auriol has always had a penchant for the culinary arts, travel and fashion. After graduating from Bryn Mawr College, she returned to Hong Kong where she joined the work force. She held various positions in luxury goods companies, before retiring to become a full-time mother! Claudia was lured out of her short-lived retirement by Chanel, where she has been for almost 10 years.

Few know of her culinary flair, but both her and her good friend Dominica’s love of food and cooking, led them to take on the challenge of putting together their first cookbook. Claudia’s passion is spendingtime with her family whether it be on the boat, skiing, hiking or chilling at home. She can also often be found in the kitchen cooking. Claudia lives in Hong Kong with her husband, Guy d’Auriol and their three children.
