Benoit Blin’s Wikipedia: The 50-Year-Old Chef Has a French Master’s Degree in Pastry!

Apart from The Great British Baking Show: The Professionals, Benoit Blin (@benoitblinmca) has also appeared in the seventh season of Baking Show: The Professionals, its British version. The seasoned chef has dreamed of being a chef ever since he could remember. The 50-year-old chef was born in Villedieu-les-Poêles, Bass Normandy, France.

The patissier chef is capable of creating excellent sweets. He reached excellence via skill, determination, intense discipline, and years of practice. His parents started taking him to a bakery at 4:00 am every morning when he was 12 years old since he loved it so much.

Benoit began a two-year, three-week-long apprenticeship as a baker in his hometown at the age of 15. He learned that baking needed more effort and that he liked the finer details that are more typical of the pastry side. He subsequently completed a second, two-year apprenticeship in Granville to earn his pastry chef certification.

At the age of 19, he finished his one-year military duty in Cherbourg’s “The Cercle des Officiers Mariniers,” a hotel for French Navy officers. He worked out a deal with the Navy to take time off to study for and pass the “Brevet de Maîtrise Pâtissier” test while he was in the service. He completed three of the five exam portions that year, out of a total of five.

When he was 21 years old, he met Bernard Meiss, another pastry chef, while working at a bakery in Coutances. Chef Meiss helped young Benoit Blin pass the Master’s Exam a year later. Benoit began working as a pastry chef at the Normandy Hotel in Dauville, France, not far from Caen, after passing the test.

His primary goal, however, was to collaborate with the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF), who were given the honor by the French President. Two years later, while working as the Chef de Partie in pastry at the Ritz Paris, Benoit Blin started developing his artistic skills.

After ending his duties at the Ritz every Friday night from 1991 to 1995, he would dash across Paris to a tiny sugar school operated by Monsieur Jean Creveux MOF 1966, an 80-year-old professor who had taught about 30 MOFs throughout the course of his career. He was the one who showed Benoit how to pull sugar. Among many others, Pascal Caffet and MOF Philippe Rigollot have made a significant contribution to Benoit Blin’s professional development.

Benoit Blin got married in the fall of 1994, abandoned his position as senior sous chef at the Ritz, and said “yes” to the legendary chef Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. On the other hand, he has always kept his wife a mystery. He began working as a head pastry chef in January 1995, and he hasn’t looked back since. In 2012, Chef Blin of the UK won the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie.

In 2005, Benoit Blin received a Master of Culinary Arts (MCA) degree. He has a French Master’s degree in pastry and was voted Pastry Chef of the Year in 2009. He also has been a longtime member of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and advises all aspiring young pastry chefs in the UK to obtain a Master of Culinary Arts degree as a real indicator of career success and achievement.
