He entered a two-year apprenticeship program in Orleans, France, where he attended school one week and worked for a chef at Au Petit Duc for the remainder of each month. After graduation, he continued to learn on the job, participated in many competitions and furthered his pastry education. Chef Benjamin has traveled throughout the world and worked in French pastry shops in London, Switzerland, Spain, Caribbean, Pacific Islands and France. In 2010, he earned the famous French pastry diploma: The Brevet de Maîtrise. While in high school, Chef Francis Grosse worked at a bakery in his home town and discovered this was the job he had been dreaming of since he was six years old. Francis obtained his vocational aptitude certificate of pastry, chocolate, ice cream and confectionary in 1990 and trained as a confectioner two years later. In 1992 he obtained an advanced diploma in professional pasty, chocolate, ice cream and confectionery through an education in CFA CEPAL NANCY.  After years of working in the industry, he obtained a Trainers Approval in 2007 for training professionals in France.    FAQs What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?There are plenty of spaces available inside a gated parking lot in front of the Culinary Institute LeNotre. Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?If you have any questions, please contact Janet Robertson at 713/358-5085. Is my registration/ticket transferrable?You may transfer your ticket to any Saturday class through April 27th.
