Who is Thomas Marie (MOF)?
Born into a family who ran a Patisserie, Thomas Marie knew what we wanted to do froma young age, therefore earning himself the title of ‘Meilleur Ouvrier de France’ (MOF) in bread-making at the age of 26. In 2011, EHL gave Marie carte blanche to set up the on-site school bakery and teaching program that ensures no student finishes their hospitality degree without knowing what ‘la grigne’ means and how to perfect it. Students arrive at 6 am, a mere 2 ours after Marie starts, to continue baking throughout the morning to his exacting high standards.
