" There was something about working with meat and fish that I didn't like, whereas I loved everything about pastry," recalls Rosalie Boucher. Nevertheless, this daughter of hotel and restaurant owners decided to study medicine first. " I was very aware of my parents' lifestyle, and I was afraid of hard work. "But her studies didn't excite her, and she decided to make pastry-making her profession.

No time to lose

So she 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's, followed by a stint at La Chèvre d'Or in Èze, before settling in Paris with 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. "
