Alain LeNôtre was born on April 13, 1945 in Pont -Audemer, Normandie to Gaston and Colette LeNôtre. He is the third generation of Chefs in the LeNôtre Family. His father, Gaston, the world’s most famous Pastry Chef and caterer, is as admired as Anthoine Careme and Auguste Escoffier. His grandmother, Eleonore, was the chef for the Rothschild family. His grandfather, also named Gaston, was the chef at the Grand Hotel in Paris. In 1962, after high school, M. LeNôtre had apprenticeships and training in pastry, bakery, ice cream, chocolate, general cuisine, and catering at LeNôtre Paris laboratories.
In 1971, he created the Ecole LeNôtre next to the Family Central Kitchen of Plaisir west of Paris, the first continuing education culinary art school in France. From 1972 to 1982, M.

In 1982, he received an MBA from the University Paris I. From 1982 to 1984, M. LeNôtre was the President of LeNôtre USA in Houston. In 1988, he and his wife, Marie, created the Culinary Institute LeNôtre in Houston, Texas. In 2021, the two-year college awarded four types of diplomas and three types of associate degrees and was ranked #1 Culinary Art College in USA for the third year in a row by Niche.com.
In 2021, M.
