Joël Schwalbach received the title of Best Craftsman of France (MOF), Bakery in 2015 and works as a baker in Rohrbach-lès-Bitche.
Born into a family of bakers in the Moselle region, Joël Schwalbach had a precocious vocation for his trade: at the tender age of 7, he already knew he wanted to become a baker. So, naturally, after having completed 9th grade, he decided to get a CAP (vocational training certificate), which he earned in Strasbourg with the Compagnons du Devoir. In the meantime, he became Best Apprentice of France in 2006, and went on to obtain a professional certificate from the Chambre de Métiers. Then he diversified his skills and earned a CAP in pastry making, as well as a technical certificate in pastry making. He completed his training with an advanced vocational degree which he received from the INBP in 2011.
At that time, Joël Schwalbach started working for the family business.
In 2013, he and his brother -who is also a baker, decided to take part in the MOFs competition.
In 2015, after two years of preparation, it is the consecration: both brothers received the title of Best Craftsman of France (MOF).
Back in 2016, Joel Schwalbach took over the family business in Rohrbach-lès-Bitche and still thrives in this environment on a daily basis.
At the same time, the Chef gives training courses in France and abroad to schools and artisans, passing on his know-how with passion.
For VoilaChef, Joël Schwalbach embarks you into his world of baking, with 3 bakery creations, both traditional and trendy: authentic Alsatian pretzels and mauricettes, burger buns and lastly, his quintessential New York rolls, declined in a vanilla and a pistachio version.

I'm a CAP pastry chef and I have all the basics, but with voila chef's courses, I really feel like I'm learning new things, more advanced and perfected techniques, and I've made considerable progress. What's more, the courses are extremely well explained, the videos are clear and easy to follow, and all the recipes I've tried have been 100% successful, and above all, they're also excellent in terms of taste.

Vous m avez apprises des choses que je me savais pas et que j ignorait grâce à vous j'ai appris plein de choses qui me serviront à l avenir merci
Dans la recette les quantités ne sont pas justes. Sans un peu d’expérience, il est difficile de s’en rendre compte.
Le contenu est au top, on apprends tout simplement des meilleurs.
Grâce à Voilà Chef, j’ai beaucoup appris à travers les masterclass des grands chefs, et notamment les gestes techniques qu’on ne retrouve pas forcément aussi bien expliqués dans les livres. Les cours, sous forme de vidéo courte, synthétisent parfaitement le déroulement des recettes. Merci !
Des recettes inédites, très détaillées qui permettent d’avoir un suivis de ce qu’on fait. Explications claires et accès à une multitudes de recettes selon notre niveau et nos envies, je recommande à 100%
