Adventures in Baking with Olivier Magne, MOF

Join Pastry Arts Academy for an exciting 4-day masterclass on bread and viennoiserie baking.

In a tradition of many great artisans, Olivier comes from a family of bakers. It was alongside his grandfather, in the family bakery, that our future MOF baker began his career. A few years later, he took over the family business specializing in natural sourdough. Passionate about his job and eager to pass it on to as many people as possible, this baker from Cantal later returned to school to pass his Bakery Master's Certificate and begin his career as an itinerant trainer within from the National Institute of Baking and Pastry (INBP). This new job allowed him to perfect his skills to prepare for the most prestigious competition in the profession: Meilleur Ouvrier de France, which he obtained in 2015 in the bakery category. A year later, he will open his first shop.

Olivier is a coauthor of the magnificent books on baking "Le Grand Livre de la Boulangerie" and "Le Grand Livre de la Viennoiserie"
