Our team of instructors and guest chefs

For the past 50 years, the pedagogy of the Lenôtre Cooking School has been based on the excellence of craftsmanship and knowledge sharing. The cooking programs we offer bring your projects and professions to life through practical experience: the chefs and trainers at the Lenôtre School pass on their tricks of the trade, precise techniques, both traditional and contemporary, time management skills… In short, the secrets of Lenôtre and the fundamentals of French gastronomy.

A unique pedagogical team

The chefs and trainers of the Lenôtre School.

In our school, training courses and advanced programs are taught by permanent trainers who are professionals, educators, and enthusiasts, as well as renowned chefs from the culinary industry. Their mission is to provide you with the best tools to make your project a successful professional adventure! The chefs and trainers of the Lenôtre School are committed to sharing their commitment to quality ingredients, their dedication to artisanal approaches, and the expertise of Lenôtre.

Whether you are a student or a professional honing your skills at the Lenôtre School, you will appreciate the close relationship with these passionate experts and the fruitful exchanges that result from it.

In our gourmet cooking school, classes never exceed 12 students. The classrooms are equipped with professional equipment to familiarize yourself with the most sophisticated techniques. The pedagogy of the Lenôtre School is focused on practice. Here, you learn by doing: you touch the products and ingredients, you experiment with techniques, you taste, adjust, correct, and fully execute the recipes.
