Born in South Korea, Eunji Lee studied pastry arts at the Institut National de la Boulangerie Patisserie in Rouen, France and Ecole Ferrandi in Paris before working with Chef William Ledeuil at Ze Kitchen Galerie in Paris for three years. She went on to train at three-Michelin-starred Le Meurice under Chef Alain Ducasse and Pastry Chef Cedric Grolet for the following four years. In 2016, Eunji moved to New York to combine her French technique with Korean ingredients at two-Michelin-starred Jungsik, where she offers a five-course dessert tasting menu. Eunji took second place at the 2019 Valrhona C3 North American Final and was a finalist on season 4 of French competition show "Qui sera le prochain grand pâtissier?" (Who will be the next great pastry chef?) in 2017. She’ll share a signature dish with tastings and answer questions about her distinct style and fine dining experience.
