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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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 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!!

  • 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.

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!!!
