Presentation

" There was something about working with meat and fish that I didn't like, whereas in pastry, I loved everything," recalls Rosalie Boucher. Yet this daughter of hotel and restaurant owners decided to study medicine first. " I was very conscious of my parents' life, and the intense work frightened me ". But her studies didn't inspire her, so she made a decisive decision: to make pastry-making her profession.

No time to lose

She then joined the École Nationale Supérieure de la Pâtisserie (ENSP), where she obtained her CAP in 2012. " And then it was one thing after another! ". She began with an internship at Frédéric Cassel, followed by a stint at Château de la Chèvre d'Or in Èze, before settling in Paris, working for Pierre Hermé. " I was 20 and didn't want to waste any time. I had to go all out and go to the houses that train for excellence ".

In 2013, she joined Claire Damon at Des Gâteaux et du Pain. The experience was decisive in her approach to pastry-making, particularly in terms of the importance of sourcing and seasonality in her creations.

Best Pastry Chef in Eastern France

Her final step was to work in a palace. She did just that in 2016, when she joined Hôtel Le Meurice after responding to an advertisement. Starting out as a commis, she climbed the ranks to become sous-che e pâtissière. Working with François Deshayes and Cédric Grolet, she perfected her technique and explored high-end pastry-making. " I realized that you can personalize any creation, even the most standardized ones ".

Since 2023, Rosalie Boucher has been head pastry chef at Domaine Les Crayères, where she designs both Garden and Park desserts. The icing on the cake: she was even crowned Best Pastry Chef of the Grand Est region by Gault&Millau in 2024.
