Born in the picturesque region of Normandy, near Mont St. Michel, Anthony grew up immersed in the natural beauty of the coast and countryside. His early years were a true “surf and turf” experience, instilling in him a deep appreciation for fresh, local ingredients.

Anthony’s culinary journey began at a young age with five years of rigorous training in France, where he honed his skills in hotels and restaurants across the country, as well as in Spain and Corsica. His international experience expanded to Florida and New York City before he ultimately settled in the San Francisco Bay Area where he continues his culinary adventures while cultivating meaningful community. 

Passionate about sharing his knowledge, Anthony discovered his love for teaching while volunteering at his children’s school, where he introduced programs on beekeeping and environmental stewardship

For the past three years, Anthony has been an instructor at Kitchen on Fire, a renowned cooking school in Berkeley. His teaching philosophy is simple: 
“I empower students to feel confident in the kitchen, focusing on the idea that simplicity is the most essential ingredient in any recipe. Whether working with adults or teens, my goal is to make cooking fun and accessible for everyone.”
