Iuzzini was born on August 31, 1974, and raised in the Catskills region of New York. His father was a plumbing and heating technician, his mother a veterinarian assistant and wildlife rehabilitator.[6][7]

Career

Beginnings

Iuzzini's first restaurant job was after school as a part-time dishwasher at the local golf club.[8] At the time, he was enrolled in his high school's voc-tech culinary program. Iuzzini garnered his first cooking award by finishing second in a New York City culinary competition.[6] At age seventeen, he took a job as garde manger, beginning his career in New York City, and began assisting Pastry Chef Eric Gouteyron at the latter's restaurant. He then switched jobs to work making desserts full-time, launching his career as a pastry chef.[6] He attended The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, graduating in 1994 with a Baking and Pastry Arts degree.[6]

Pastry chef

During his externship at the Culinary Institute of America, Iuzzini worked with pastry chef Lincoln Carson at Luxe. Iuzzini and Carson then began working for Francois Payard. During the next three and a half years, he managed all dessert stations at Daniel and became Payard's close assistant. When Payard opened his Payard Pâtisserie and Bistro in 1997, Iuzzini was selected as sous chef while continuing to work at Daniel.[9][10]

In 1998, Iuzzini studied pastry technique while staging at several of the country's finest patisseries.[11] After eight months around the world, he returned to New York to work for Daniel Boulud, opening Café Boulud and the new Daniel as Executive Sous Chef. In 2001, Boulud promoted the 26-year-old Iuzzini to Executive Pastry Chef.

Iuzzini was named the “Best Pastry Chef” by New York Magazine in 2002, nominated for “Outstanding Pastry Chef of the Year” nomination by the James Beard Foundation in 2003,[12] and named one of the “Ten Best Pastry Chefs in America” by Pastry Art and Design Magazine in 2003 and 2004. In 2006, Iuzzini was awarded Outstanding Pastry Chef of the Year[13] by the James Beard Foundation. 2007 landed him among the honorees of the title of “10 Most Influential Chefs in America” from Forbes, as one of the “Tastemaking Chefs”.[14][15]
