Biography

A confectioner since 2005, I received my training in MAISON CAFFET (Best School in France and World Champion) in shifts with my workmates. There I learnt the basics of confectionery, working alongside fine professionals including ANGELO MUSA, MATHIEU BLANDIN and ALEXANDRE GYE-JACQUOT.

Later, I become laboratory manager at ESPACE SUCRE CHOCOLAT in Troyes, developing the knowledge I had acquired through various different competitions (Strasbourg European Fair, Dijon International Fair, 'Cabosse d'Or' at Vannes) and training sessions alongside the very best (Yann Brys, Bellouet School; Fréderic Hawecker, 'chocolaterie de l'opéra'; Philippe Parc).

After almost 10 years in the company, I left at the start of 2019 to open my own consultancy/training company. Now I travel around the world sharing my knowledge with everyone who has a passion for this subject matter whether in schools, institutes, hotels or companies. I would describe my confectionery as simple, refined, fruity and delicious.

Today I am really proud to return as an ambassador for the wonderful Bergner family. It is hugely satisfying to find myself alongside the great chefs of world cuisine.

The Cook & Chef Foundation is formed by relevant figures from international haute cuisine and young talent who share a vision of the world based on respect, on ethics, and on the good work of signature cooking.
