LeNôtre earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Paris I.
Thirty years ago, he created the chef school Ecole LeNôtre in Paris, France, one of the world’s best retraining schools, where he taught for a number of years. After receiving a request for a franchise in Texas, Alain and Marie were invited to visit Houston, Texas in 1981. Ultimately they started their own business there, first with a retail and wholesale bakery.
In 1998, they opened an international cooking and baking school for career seekers, career changers, food enthusiasts and also for continuing education.
As their fame was spreading they were asked to franchise their “Know How” in the Middle East. There are now 10 “Alain LeNôtre” restaurants and bakeries in Cairo, Egypt.
Alain LeNôtre’s motto is: “Tradition, quality & respect.” He chose the word tradition because he is the 3rd generation of chefs in the LeNôtre family. In 1998, Alain and Marie LeNotre opened the Culinary Institute LeNotre.
The culinary college located in Houston, Texas, United States of America, offers diplomas and degrees.
In October 2011, Alain LeNôtre opened Kris Bistro & Wine Lounge within the Culinary Institute LeNôtre as a restaurant open to the public and a training center for students.
