Amaury Guichon Pastry Academy: Inside the Real-Life School of Chocolate
Ойын-сауық
Whether it's on Netflix's School of Chocolate, or at his eponymous pastry school in Las Vegas, Chef Amaury Guichon is inspiring the next generation of top pastry chefs with his distinct mixture of traditional French technique and larger-than-life decorative imagination.
Matfer Bourgeat takes you inside Chef Amaury's creative process and a day-in-the-life of the academy in this in-depth feature.

Bio:
Born in Cannes and raised in Geneva, Chef Amaury began his first apprenticeship in pastry at 13 years old and carved a path for himself at tremendous speed, winning the national “Meilleur Apprenti de France” award and becoming one of the youngest executive pastry chefs in the country by the time he was 21.
Guichon then began his “American adventure,” trading Paris for Las Vegas and a position at the Jean-Phillipe Patisserie at the Aria, one of the best pastry programs in a notoriously sweet-toothed city. After hours, he began honing his epic decorative style while staying true to his commitment to French technique and outstanding texture and flavor. One day, he started recording his experiments and personal projects to social media. The rest is Insta-history.
Chef Guichon shares the expertise developed in his whirlwind 17 year career in pastry with the next generation at the Pastry Academy by Amaury Guichon in Las Vegas. The 10-week program, designed in collaboration with Chef Michel Ernots, combines the technical know-how of an old-world pastry program with new-world creativity and decoration.
Matfer Bourgeat USA is proud to sponsor the Pastry Academy and support the creativity and professional development of the the next generation of top pastry and chocolate talent.

Bro is a chef, an artist and an engineer, it's too much talent. And the best of all, he's not arrogant or rude about it. He passes knowlegde forward with such kindness and patience and makes sure everybody is actually learning from the experience. I'd love to have him as a professor even if I can't cook at all.

He definitely has the soul of a teacher.
The way he handles the students and Teaches is EVERYTHING I want in a cooking show. I want a winner, but I want others to grow and not just lose. The show is brilliant, Chef Amuary is a great soul

Exactly. That’s what I love about it. It’s supposed to be a healthy competition with a good and friendly atmosphere. Not something that will make you feel condemned for life when you lose

His methods show that you don’t have to be an ass of a chef to be captivating
I absolutely ADORED how respectful and just overall a great teacher he was in the show. It's so refreshing to see professionals who don't act high and mighty and instead embrace others who are striving to learn and stuff
The School of Chocolate on Netflix was just refreshing, enjoyable ,and educational .Having watch many of the competition shows dealing with food on TV and Netflix, this was definitely the best of them all. Chef Amaury was was an un-bias judge, fair in selecting the winner Juan.His two assistants did their job well, no pressure on the contestants,,allowed them to work without undue pressure.Hs leadership skills are superb and his knowledge to share with the other Chefs is to be commended. He definitely has a GOD Given Talent of what he does and his desire to share with others is great for mankind. I watch the show continuous to very last episode because it was just that great of a show. Chef Amaury Guichon is truly a Genuis at what he does and his creation of art with Chocolate is just exquisite.Can't wait for next season.

School of Chocolate was fun. I learned quite a bit myself and that’s what I want from shows, whether competition or not. I want to be able to learn something too.
Ive been following this guy 4 years since i first saw clips of him on tumblr calling him chocolate guy (2 this day, most people on the site refer 2 him as "chocolate guy" as a kind of affectionate nickname) and i really admire his work. So many other kinds of elaborate chocolate/pastry designs are like a simple base with a mountain of icing or fondant but guichon stands out because his desserts are so layered, its not just a single cookie or 2 inch layer of vanilla cake its thin wafers, caramel cores, rich looking mousse, fruit bases and drizzles and all coated in delicious looking chocolate. Ive seen many chocolate creations that impressed me because of how grand they were, but amuary guichons creations are one of the few examples of desserts that ive wanted 2 truly devour. It always stood out 2 me that he actually ate his creations at the end. Sorry that this comment is so long and rambling it just feels really exciting to see a chef ive always admire really come in2 the public eye and 2 have other appreciate his talent as well!

I totally agree with you. There is some american chef that do great design but they rarely seem delicious to me. Amaury's creation always seems as tastefull as they are beautifull and this is truly amazing. It's like he took the best of french and american pastry.
Watching him on his new show, he truly takes pride in watching his student grow and learn.

Yes I observed the same thing
I have no desire to learn any of this but I'd attend just to hear him explain it all. His School of Chocolate showcases not just his talent for doing & teaching but also in being human. So much talent minus the annoying ego of other chefs.
I love how he explained that the dessert should be an experience and make sense. When you bite into the shell dessert, you expect coconut or something tropical. He's not gonna give you a shell and then have it be a pumpkin or pistachio flavored treat.
I love this show. As a viewer, I learned a lot of techniques from Amaury. Also I love the vibe in the kitchen where chef Amaury can come in anytime to help them with stuff. (I mean duh it’s a school) It just makes things less… competition-y and I love that
Passionate, humble and hands-on... No wonder Amaury Guichon grows!
I love how humble he is and how he doesn’t diss the other culture way of techniques he embraces the American and French techniques with respect.His show on Netflix made me love this man the way he treated those contestants and how he teaches them and even the ones that didn’t win the challenge he gave them credit when they did a good job which made them not give up.This man is such a blessing !
This guy always impresses me. His work is just unbelievable. Rarely am I awed, but every time I see him at his craft, my mind is blown at his skills and knowledge. He is definitely more than a pastry chef; he is an artist, visionary, and sculpture!

Where is the school??
His work is just mind blowing… I always knew the French are on a different level when it comes to food, but now as an adult, it’s an undeniable truth
This guy is amazing, everything he makes blows my mind not just that for instance he makes a sword out of chocolate is that how real the sword looked ,just absolutely mind blowing 🤯
I’ve been following him on Instagram for two years or more but this is the first time hearing his voice cause I was curious as to how he sounds like 😆 his work is amazing,always amazed with each piece he worked on
WHAT I wouldn't give to do a course like this!!!! Being taught by true genius, along with a humble and kind personality.
I really hope in a future Amaury opens a pastry acadamy all over the USA and soon the world so future generations of chefs can learn and make the world more through yummy masterpieces
I loved the t.v. show School of Chocolate ...every episode is so exciting to watch that you can't wait the next episode is going to be.......I hope you can have a season 2 can't wait to watch it...
He is the best chef I ever watched in my life! Beautiful inside and out. His patience is impeccable. A phenomenal human being period! I absolutely love him! ❤❤❤
This was by far the best video by Amaury not because of his creation, but because he describes in detail what he’s doing and why. If all of his videos were like this, viewership would soar because I think we all want to know how he’s doing this and why, i.e. why, for example, did he cut a hole in the shell. I found this video especially interesting because I now realized that he is blast freezing his creations in order to be able to work on them later. Well done Amaury.
I love this guy! I just finished watching his show on Netflix and I was so inspired.
Your dedication to your craft and your students is what I love about your show. What made it go the extra mile I think was how I felt like I was learning, like somehow I was a student as well. It is very well done. Thank you for the experience, cannot wait for the next season.
I like hearing your voice. It’s like meditation. You are so calm and confident. Incredible chef. Total package
Me and my wife love your season 1 at Netflix waiting in the season 2
Love his art! Just binged watched his show in Netflix and was one of the best I have watched this year. Love his always gentle spirit and mostly loved the fact that he not once made the contest9feel bad, just the opposite, he build them! Such an inspiration not just an artist, chocolatier, but most importantly his gentle spirit! Can’t wait for another series. Sign me up!
I absolutely loved this show! It's my favorite of them all. It's a joy to watch an artistic genius at work, willing to pass along his wisdom and practical experience. I also really loved the way he worked to understand his students, to better know how to reach them, especially if they were struggling... vs. the usual egomaniacs who merely criticize. Clearly, his motivation is not only to create works of art, but to influence and shape future artists, as well. That, in itself, is the rarest gift of all. When can we expect a Season Two? Soon, I hope!? Please!!
His accent is as delicious as his skills. Watching him work, hearing him describe his art, is such a treat and so happy his videos came up and subscribed. I subscribe to many artists and he’s the first with food. He inspires me to be better in my art hobby.
That mushroom - amazing..
How have you stayed so fit. If I could rate chocolate school on Netflix...Thumbs up Chef !!!!! I like your style !!!

BOM DIA um belíssimo trabalho COM riqueza de detalhes amei sucesso moço pra voces
Impresionante campeón eres lo mas
Your creations, so lifelike and beautiful, almost too much so to eat… I just have one question… if you have a fairly difficult piece, like the shell with the foam, how do you handle multiple orders at once? Those things take time… Full of admiration, there are probably more pastry chefs with your skills but so much kudoos for putting yourself out there!
Mi cielo hermoso 💚 Me enamoré de tus obras y después del Artista. Realizas Maravillas. Yo jamás podría hacer esas obras de arte.
Trop beau 😍
You are amazing 😍❣️
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 it's just amazing
Wonderful. Congratulations. I love sweets. They look so so yummy and great. Good job.
This coconut shell reminds me of Titian's Birth of Venus painting. I hope you come to Chicago and come see our Art Institute here. The Art is world renowned, and you would be inspired by it.
You so awesome Chef Amaury Guichon
Wow I would love to go there and learn from the best
Nevermind all that everyone else says about his demeanor, skill, and teaching ability--the fact these very theatrical desserts are all EDIBLE components is the impressive part. It's not unflavored sponge, sculpted fondant and cold, dyed buttercreme holding everything together. Every piece is chocolate or intentionally flavored, intended that every bit your eye enjoys your tongue can be treated to as well, and THAT is the seriously impressive part.
Bravo ! ❤😘😊
In this world of competitions, we have forgotten, "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." >
You are a Great artist and chef. I wish I could meet you in person and taste some of your Beautiful creations. If you ever come to Oklahoma, please let me know.❤❤
Impressive.
You are amazing and very talented @AmauryGuichon
Best chef of pateserie LG Germany
YES!!!! Teach problem solving!!! If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime. Most teaching these days is giving people information and having them memorize. But one day if they forget, how do they find the information again. With my ADHD I have so much trouble learning.... But if someone had taken the time to connect my learning in a way that I can find it again in case I forget then I would have retained SO much more!!!
I am allergic to milk but I love watching this guy make chocolate considering I don't eat chocolate it's say alot by the fact I love watching is creations, this is more than chocolate, it is art!
I am seriously thinking of taking the course now. Start figuring out when and how I can take 3 months off from work…🤔
Well said!
