Speaker Profile
Mr. Stevy Antoine
Chef Instructor in French Pastry, Ferrandi Paris
Never put off by demanding hours, often reaching 10 hours a day, Stevy Antoine left his native Brittany and pursued an apprenticeship in a bakery-patisserie in Paris where he learnt to make desserts. The desire to set off abroad constantly occupied his mind and eventually drove him to London. ”I’ve always wanted to travel” says Stevy. He spent two years in the British capital at the renowned Maison Blanc. However, very quickly the desire to discover other countries took him to Kuwait where he worked for three years at Sheraton as an assistant pastry chef. Following this, he packed his bags for Canada to work in the prestigious “Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise”. As the head pastry chef of a team of 25, he learnt how to manage and deal with catering for a demanding and international clientele of 1 000 people per day.
During his free moments, he devoted himself to his other passion; skiing. As a result of his rich experience, he maintains numerous friendships to this day.
Back in Paris after having spent another year in London, he decided to embark on a new stage in his life; he chose to pass on his expertise and experience. Of course, this led him knocking at the doors of FERRANDI Paris. For his first eight years, he taught CAP and bac pro students, years during which “I had the impression I was reliving my own experience.”
As Stevy speaks English perfectly, he teaches international students.
