Bio:

Emmanuel Pose comes from a family who has invested their lives in the culinary profession.  Emmanuel's father moved his family from Paris to Houston to work for the world renowned Gaston LeNotre bakery in 1980.  Emmanuel still remembers being greeted by Gaston at the airport with a toy in hand.  Now, 22 years later and a career that has included work history in Paris, Mexico, Dallas, and Houston Emmanuel returns to work for Alain LeNotre and the Culinary Institute LeNotre. 

Class Room Environment:

Emmanuel's passion and respect for the industry carries through in his teaching style.  Chef Emmanuel likes to use real life scenarios in his teaching application and push the student to become involved in his or her own self learning of the trade off campus by asking the students to do various re-search of our profession and encourages the students to read and study cuisine theory.  The learning environment is a bit hard nosed as he keeps the students to the same high expectations as Chef's working outside a school environment by incorporating time limits in mise en place and service windows to increase their speed and making them accountable for mistakes made. Preparation schedules detailing technique used are mandatory in his class as he believes organization is the key to success. Chef Emmanuel believes this will help prepare students for what is expected of them when they make the leap as a professional cook in a working kitchen.
