Portrait of Iris Rouche
i. Biography
Iris Rouche has worked in pastry as a technical discipline: measured execution, tight control, and the kind of finish that reads in the details. The throughline across Le Jules Verne (Paris, Eiffel Tower) and NEJA Pâtisserie is a steady accumulation of precision in kitchens where pastry sits at the highest gastronomic level. Each step adds another layer of method to a practice that depends on rigor as much as on form.

Coming Up
Formal training at Lycée Fénelon set the base, and Pré Catelan in Paris added the practice of training / skill development under kitchen discipline. From there, Le Jules Verne in Eiffel Tower, Paris as Baking Sous Chef placed Iris Rouche in a setting known for exacting standards, where the work demands control and consistency. Since 2024, the role of sous pastry chef at NEJA Pâtisserie has continued that progression, with pastry arts remaining the core language of the position.
Where They Are Now
At NEJA Pâtisserie, the work sits at the level of sous pastry chef, where precision is not ornamental but operational. For Iris Rouche, that means a kitchen practice built around close attention to texture, balance, and presentation, all of it carried at the highest gastronomic level in pastry arts.
