Emmanuelle Maisonneuve was born in Toulouse in 1976. Curious by nature, she developed an early passion for gastronomy and travel. She moved to the United States and Canada for her university studies and discovered the world of fine dining while working with Michel Bras, Alain Ducasse, and Alain Passard. These experiences forged her palate and led her to life-changing encounters with many other greats of French cuisine. Her dream of touching the fabled Michelin stars was realized when she became an inspector for The Michelin Guide.
