Fascinated since childhood by the pastry arts, thanks to a family-run tea/pastry salon in Courchevel, Emanuel Mugnier obtained his CAP in Pastry and studied accounting before joining the company as associate manager. He then opened an additional pastry shop-tea room close to Courchevel. Meanwhile, he pursued his studies and obtained his 'Brevet de Maitrise'. Emmanuel regularly attended professional training courses instructed by “Meilleurs Ouvriers de France” at ENSP, Bellouet Conseil and Valrhona. He trained many apprentices for the CAP pastry and BTM programs. Inspired by new projects, he sold his company in 2013 and became pastry chef at a restaurant in Courchevel. Wishing to share and transmit his knowledge, he subsequently joined ENSP as Chef Instructor.
