Jean-Marie Lanio, a head baker from the Loire-Atlantique region of France, currently serves as a bakery consultant/trainer in Seoul, South Korea.

His passion for baking began before the age of 18 in a small country bakery near his home, marking the start of a career that then took him to Nantes.
He enrolled at the Institut National de Boulangerie-Pâtisserie, reference institute in Rouen, and earned an advanced vocational degree.
Soon after, he joined the teaching team at the INBP and contributed to the creation of the Bakery Training department at the École Hôtelière de Lausanne.

Driven by the desire to embark on new adventures and eager to teach French bakery beyond France’s border, Jean-Marie Lanio decided to move to Seoul in 2015. There, he launched a program of master classes for the INBP and opened his own training school.
Twice a finalist in the Best Craftsman of France (MOF) competition, he gives training courses all over the world to discerning professionals and amateurs alike.

The Chef is the co-author of two reference books in France and in the world: the Grand livre de la boulangerie and the Grand livre de la viennoiserie (the latter with Olivier Magne, notably), as well as books in Korean: Quel délice ces croissants, Quel délice ces baguettes, Quel délice ces brioches.

The Kouign-aman, flavored breads and exceptional viennoiseries are some of his signature pastries.

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.
