At just 33 years old, virtuoso pastry chef Maxime Frédéric, named best pastry chef of the year in 2022 by the prestigious Gault & Millau guide, is now head pastry chef of the three restaurants at LVMH’s Cheval Blanc.
Frédéric is internationally renowned for his lighter-than-air desserts, raising gourmet cuisine to the ranks of an art form in its own right. Hailing from Normandy, he grew up on the land. The grandson of a dairy farmer, he says he has “milk running through his veins.” In other words, it is part of his DNA, a heritage, not merely a sentimental attachment. Since he completed his training as a baker, and throughout his glowing career, this heritage continues to inspire him.
