Six future chefs trained by Alsace stars
Les Étoiles d’Alsace has inaugurated its first academy. In Colmar, over the course of a month, six apprentices have been introduced to the art of fine cooking under the guidance of two former Michelin-starred chefs: Patrick Fulgraff (Fer Rouge, Colmar) and Michel Husser (Le Cerf, Marlenheim).
“They were motivated and eager,” says an enthusiastic Michel Husser. “We have given them wings; now it’s up to them to continue on this path.” Patrick Fulgraff is equally complimentary. “What I like is the cohesion among them. They did things naturally, which is good. The essential thing, when they’re in a restaurant, is to observe carefully.”
Today marked the last day of theoretical training at the CFA academy for the six future chefs, and the impressions of the trainers were shared on the “etoilesalsace” Instagram account: “Our six apprentices have brilliantly completed this stage by preparing a meal for our guests. Starting next week, they will continue their training in immersion with our members, ready to put their skills into practice.”
Among the guests of the day, we had the honor of welcoming: Édouard Baumann, President of the Étoiles d’Alsace association; Prescillia Cerdan, Director of the Étoiles d’Alsace association; the trainers, @fulgraff_patrick and @husserchef, the Chefs; Valérie Arnold, representative of @laregiongrandest; Philippe Authier, Director of @ccicampusalsace; Céline Kern, President of the CCI of the Colmar delegation; Olivier Ynard, Director of the CFA for Hospitality and Catering in Colmar; Jean Jacques Better, President of UMIH 68; Odile Ulrich Malet, First Deputy Mayor of Colmar and Regional Councilor.
A big thank you to everyone for their presence. We look forward to seeing their progress in the next phase of their training. 🚀👩🍳👨🍳
