About Dominique Ansel:
Dominique Ansel’s career evolved from the age of 16 where he worked in a local French kitchen to financially help support his family.

Dominique moved to New York in 2006 and maintained his role as Executive Pastry Chef for restaurant Daniel for six years until he opened Dominique Ansel Bakery New York in 2011 with just 4 employees and a 100-sq ft kitchen. He has since become world renowned for his innovations in patisserie that include the Cronut®, the Frozen S’more and The Milk and Cookie Shot and has expanded internationally opening another bakery in New York, one in London and two in Tokyo with a full-service restaurant in LA opening in the Autumn.
