Both chef and creator, Alain Ducasse is above all a true pioneer of philosophy, living well and eating well. He is now the most starred chef in the world.

Its philosophy combines tradition and modernity, respecting the products used, to highlight the authenticity of each product.

The Chef’s obsession was to create an establishment that allows him to transmit the knowledge he had acquired during his travels around the world and transform it into educational content in a dedicated and unique place.

“It took ten years of work to design this modern, contemporary, technical and universal tool. Today, being in this building is a great satisfaction because it is an architectural purpose made up of high-tech professional kitchens”, says Chef Alain Ducasse.

“Why Electrolux Professional?”

Chef Julian Mercier, chef of Ecole Ducasse-Paris Campus, has been working with Chef Alain Ducasse for 20 years now. He tells us the reasons for his choice of Molteni and Electrolux Professional equipment:

We have 17 Electrolux Professional thermaline cooking blocks that have been custom-made to our needs with parts for people with reduced mobility. I am satisfied with the Electrolux Professional equipment because it is easy to use, it is resistant, easy to handle and the understanding of its use is done very quickly. On SkyLine ovens, what is pleasant to use is already their operating mode which is intuitive. It is not difficult to find the programs on the ovens, the cooking is stable and fair throughout the oven, from top to bottom. Cleaning is very easy to do, moreover in terms of safety, it is very pleasant.
What I like about Molteni stoves is their sturdiness. They are made in France, they have an ease of use which is very appreciable with a very nice design”.

École Ducasse, the secrets of the establishment’s professional kitchens

To honor the excellence of French cuisine, it took many months of reflection, manufacture and installation of professional kitchens.

The result: 9 professional kitchens, 1 shop and 1 gourmet restaurant with 60 seats open to the public. The quantity and quality of the equipment are dizzying, as Eric Mouton, Commercial Director of the Molteni brand for France and Electrolux Professional sales manager for the Ile de France region, recalls:
