Paris just welcomed a game-changing culinary star. Meet Maxime Frédéric—the newly crowned world best pastry chef. He blends Norman heritage and urban elegance. And he’s rewriting dessert rules.

👨‍🍳 From Normandy to Paris

Born on a family farm in Normandy, Frédéric’s love for pastry started early. As a child, he baked alongside his grandmother, learning the value of simple, quality ingredients. Later, he trained at La Grigne before rising through the ranks in Paris’s elite kitchens. He sharpened his craft at Le Meurice and the Four Seasons George V—both known for their exacting standards.

✨ Signature Style

What sets him apart? Frédéric reinvents the classics with obsessive care. For instance, his millefeuille took two years to perfect. Instead of a traditional fondant topping, he adds a delicate triple-vanilla cream. Similarly, his Paris-Brest features dairy straight from his family farm. As a result, every bite tells a story—rich with flavor and full of intention.
