Christine Ferber

In January 2018, Ferber was awarded a Chevalier (Knight) of the Legion of Honour.

In 2013, British newspaper the Daily Mirror reported that Brad Pitt had become obsessed with Ferber's jams, and had flown to Alsace to meet her. However, Ferber claimed that she had never seen Pitt in her shop.

Aged 15, Ferber moved to Paris to study with French pastry chef Lucien Pelletier. She spent a year in Paris, before moving to Brussels, where she lived for three years. In 1979, she won the French Cup for patissiers. She moved back to Alsace in 1980, where she started her own workshop. She initially made jams, selling them in her parents' shop. In 1998, Ferber was voted Patissier of the Year by the Guide Champérard [fr] . In 2005, she produced a cookbook Alice's Little Kitchen in Wonderland, in reference to Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The images for the book were intended to imitate Salvador Dalí style paintings. In 2011, Ferber took joint ownership of La Maison Ferber with her brother and sister, after the death of their father. In 2015, she built her own workshop.

Christine Ferber (born 11 May 1960) is a French pastry chef and chocolatier, who co-owns La Maison Ferber in the Alsace region of France. She sells over 200,000 jars of jam a year across the world.

Her father Maurice opened La Maison Ferber in 1959, in a seventeenth century traditional French building. Ferber speaks French, German, Alsatian and English. Ferber's mother died in March 2020.
