Success stories
Why did I choose to study at Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Pâtisserie? Actually I researched potential schools in France because I wanted to learn the right way, which means the French way. And I felt ENSP was a school where I could learn as much as possible about the pastry industry in a short time. Today I can honestly say that it was one of the best times of my life.
