The instructor team and the guest chef instructors

For over 50 years, the teaching approach of the Lenôtre Culinary School has been built on excellence in both know-how and the ability to pass it on.
The culinary training programs we offer bring your projects and careers to life through a practical approach: the chefs and instructors of the Lenôtre School share with you their techniques, precise gestures, time management skills, and methods from both past and present.

In short, they pass on the secrets of the Lenôtre house and the fundamentals of French gastronomy.

A unique teaching team

The chefs and instructors of the Lenôtre School

Within our School, training and advanced courses are delivered by permanent instructors who are professionals, skilled educators, and passionate individuals, alongside renowned chefs from the industry.

Their mission is to provide you with the best tools to turn your project into a successful professional journey. The chefs and instructors of the Lenôtre School are deeply committed to sharing their high standards when it comes to ingredients, their dedication to a craft-based approach, and the expertise of the Lenôtre House.

Whether you are a student or a professional advancing your skills at the Lenôtre School, you will appreciate the close interaction with these passionate experts and the valuable exchanges it fosters.

Within our gourmet culinary school, classes never exceed 12 students. The kitchens are equipped with professional-grade equipment, allowing you to practice the most advanced techniques.

The Lenôtre School’s teaching approach is practice-oriented. Here, you learn by doing: you handle products and ingredients, practice techniques, taste, adjust, refine, and fully prepare each recipe.
