Christophe Renou, Pastry Chef at L'Ecole du Grand Chocolat Valrhona crowned Meilleur Ouvrier de France!

Valrhona heartily congratulates Christophe Renou, Pastry Chef at l’École du Grand Chocolat Valrhona, who was crowned Meilleur Ouvrier de France Pâtissier Confiseur on March 5th 2015!

After three days of trials and a day of exhibition, Christophe Renou, pastry chef at l’École Valrhona, Jerome Chaucesse, pastry chef at the Hotel Crillon, and Julien Boutonnet, head of production at Olivier Bajard, were elected Meilleurs Ouvriers de France in Pastry and Confectionery.

"[Becoming a Meilleur Ouvrier de France] means joining a family of pastry chefs who represent excellence in our craft, it’s very moving," said Christophe Renou shortly after his election. The pastry chef-trainer at l’École Valrhona chose to work on the theme "Sweet Picasso" with particular emphasis placed on painter’s cubist influences.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
