GABRIELE VANNUCCI Pastry Chef & Consultant

Nasce a Pietrasanta, in Toscana, il 10 ottobre 1988.

Respira arte sin dalla culla. Madre fotografa, padre scenografo e costruttore dei famosi carri del Carnevale di Viareggio. Dal nonno, famoso pittore, apprende l'amore per il disegno e la conoscenza dell'uso del colore, verso il quale Gabriele presta particolare attenzione nella creazione dei suoi dessert.

Frequenta L'Istituto Alberghiero di Massa. La scuola non fa per lui e interrompe gli studi al quarto anno per approdare nel laboratorio del Maestro Luca Mannori, a Prato, dove rimane per tre anni. Questa esperienza lo segna moltissimo. Dal Maestro cerca, con estrema dedizione, di carpire più tecniche possibili. La vita di laboratorio, però, non è nelle sue corde e vola a New York per gestire la produzione di pasticceria di un ristorante con annessa caffetteria e panetteria.

Riceve la chiamata dallo Chef Franck Cerutti che lo vuole a Monaco all'Hotel de Paris. Qui Gabriele aumenta il suo bagaglio di esperienza, imparando le basi classiche della pasticceria francese.

Terminata l'esperienza francese vola a Londra per capire e conoscere la cucina molecolare ed approda al Fat Duck di Heston Blumenthal come stagista.

Segue l'apertura di due locali a New York.

Lavora poi in alcune prestigiose realtà ristorative stellate italiane come il ristorante Il Piccolo Principe di Viareggio.

Nel 2015 partecipa ai Campionati Italiani di Pasticceria seniores, a Rimini. Dal 2015 è Technical Advisor per Callebaut, dove si occupa di sviluppo di nuovi prodotti.

Attualmente è Pastry Chef presso il ristorante Contrada a Castelmonastero e docente di pasticceria presso la scuola internazionale di cucina Lorenzo de' Medici di Firenze.

GABRIELE VANNUCCI Pastry Chef & Consultant

Gabriele was born in Pietrasanta (Tuscany, Italy) on October 10th, 1988.

He lived art from his birth. His mother is a photographer, his father is a scenographer and a builder of the famous carts of Viareggio's Carnival. From his grandfather, famous painter, he learnt the love for design and the use of colours, which is where Gabriele concentrates his attention when creating desserts.

He attended culinary classes at institute G.Minuto in Massa, but he did not enjoy school life. He left half way into his 4th year and "landed" in the laboratory of the pastry-making maestro Luca Mannori, in Prato (Tuscany), for whom he worked for 3 years. This experience imprinted deeply in Gabriele life. Here, he tried to snatch as many techniques as possible, but life in a laboratory was not to be his destiny, and so, he flew to New York to manage the patisserie of a big restaurant with a coffee shop and bakery.

While in the Big Apple, he received a call from the Hotel de Paris in Monaco, where, thanks to chef Franck Cerutti, he increased his experience, learning the classic bases of French patisserie.

He then went to London to learn molecular cuisine in the famous Fat Duck restaurant by Heston Blumenthal during an important internship experience.

After that, he returned to New York to follow the opening of two restaurants. He then worked in various locations in Italy including at the 'il Piccolo Principe' Hotel in Viareggio.

In 2015, he took part in the Italian Pastry Championship, in Rimini and become Technical Advisor for Callebaut chocolate, for whom he develops new products.

He is now also the Pastry Chef of Contrada restaurant in the Castelmonastero luxury retreat and a pastry-making trainer in the international cooking school Lorenzo de' Medici in Florence.
