I just took an 8 week French pastry class at Ecole Ducasse and Chef Thomas Albert was my instructor for the whole period. He was consulting for the school. I highly recommend him as an instructor. He provided a lot of explanations to further our understanding of the ingredients and the role they played in the recipes. He always took the time to demonstrate the techniques annd was obviously very skilled himself. Our schedule was very heavy and he spent extra time to organize our time so we could complete all the recipes without sacrificing the learning of all. I learned a tremendous amount.

Chef Thomas was one of the core tutors when I trained in pastry at Le Cordon Bleu in Bangkok. His knowledge, passion , techniques still resonate with me today and will say that along with one other Pastry Chef from LCB (F LG) they have been the base of my pastry journey to date and 2nd career. Thank you Chef Thomas. Commented Nov 2025.

🍰 Thank you to Pastry Chef Thomas Albert A huge thank you to Chef Thomas Albert for his professionalism, his teaching skills, and his passion for the science of pastry. Each recipe he teaches combines technical precision with a deep understanding of the chemistry of the ingredients, allowing for a perfect balance between textures, flavors, and emotions. Thanks to his attention to detail and his passion for sharing his knowledge, he inspires everyone to see pastry not only as an art, but also as a science of taste and balance. Bravo and thank you, Chef, for your high standards and your generosity!

I called on Thomas to rebalance the restaurant's dessert menu and develop recipes that better suit special diets. I am very happy with the result. Frankly, I highly recommend him. Teaching skills, listening skills, creativity, everything is there... thanks again.
