Episode 27: Chef Dune Pierre Michel – Crafting Pastry with Precision at French Broad Pantry
Description
In this episode, we’re joined by Chef Dune Pierre Michel, the creative force behind French Broad Pantry in Asheville, North Carolina. Dune's culinary journey began in the sun-drenched South of France, where he developed a deep appreciation for quality ingredients and refined techniques. Rooted in a rich gastronomic heritage, his cuisine elegantly balances simplicity and sophistication.
After honing his skills at a prestigious hospitality and culinary school, Dune’s career took him across the globe — from the landscapes of Peru and India to the vibrant markets of Mexico and Morocco. With over a decade in California’s dynamic food scene, he now brings his expertise and passion to Asheville, particularly in the realm of exquisite pastry baking.
