My Life in Food: Pierre Herme

Herme was first apprenticed to a master pastry chef at age 14.

Surely one of the busiest men in the industry.

Alain Ducasse is the first chef in the world who has had three different restaurants (in three different cities) earn the most coveted three Michelin stars.

And with 27 restaurants in eight countries, a cooking school (that instructs home cooks and professional chefs), three inns, upwards of 10 cookbooks, a line of cooking supplies, and a company of 1,400 partners, it’s safe to say he has plenty on his plate.
