Lecoq Cuisine

Founded in a small rented kitchen space in Port Chester, New York in 1991, Lecoq Cuisine has grown to be the preeminent manufacturer of fine French pastries in the United States.  It was established by pastry chef/baker Eric Lecoq whose mission was to create a “proof and bake” as well as a “ready to bake” croissant for the commercial marketplace.  Using only the finest quality ingredients and the most innovative manufacturing methods, Chef Lecoq’s passion brought the hand of the skilled pastry chef and the traditional flavor and flaky crispness of the butter-laced croissant to a cost-effective, frozen pastry. 

 

Eric Lecoq was born in France where he also began his career as a master pastry chef and baker.  At 20 years of age, Eric left his homeland to pursue the American dream of building his own business in the United States.  After working for a couple of years as a pastry chef, Eric followed his aspiration to introduce the classic crispy, buttery, flaky French croissant to the American marketplace when he founded Lecoq Cuisine in a space that is fondly remembered as “the garage.”  He has truly realized the American dream!
