Today’s master class includes recipes to take home and a sit-down gathering with the chef himself to taste all his wonderful creations. With an intuitive sense for pastry creation and vast experience working with world-acclaimed French pastry chefs such as Christophe Michalak at the Hotel Plaza Athénée in Paris and with Jerome De Oliveira, just to name a few, Chef Nicolas is bringing his unique flair to Bay View Lounge’s afternoon tea experience. I have had the chance to work and learn from outstanding and talented chefs throughout my career (both from a personal and professional standpoint) and I consider this an extremely important foundation of my success - I believe we should always strive to learn from those around us.”Ĭhef Nicolas is going to be in Bahrain from today until November 30. He added: “My proudest achievement looking back was to be the winner of the National Festival of Croquembouches in France at only 21 years old. In 2018, after his 30th birthday, Nicolas became Asia’s Best Pastry Chef according to The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. But the moment he moved to Hong Kong, he already had 10 years of professional experience.Ĭaprice Restaurant, which had just been featured in the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list, became the first restaurant in Lambert’s career.

Hailing from a family of boulangers and patissiers, Chef Nicolas got his degree as a chocolatier and worked throughout France, from Epinal to Cannes. As we are spread out across the world, we unfortunately don’t have the chance to see one another too often, but when we do it’s always a wonderful family gathering.” Julien is also in fact the head pastry chef - he just opened his shop in France and I’m incredibly proud of him! For us, pastry artistry has become second nature to us and is our way of life. Nicolas added: “My twin brother, Julien, and I were actually born in my parents’ bakery. To this day, his parents bake croissants there in the morning as the boys each head up pastry kitchens, Julien in France and Nicolas at the Four Seasons Hotel Lion Palace St.

Award-winning pastry Chef Nicolas Lambert will be serving up some of his finest French creations this week at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, starting with a master class this evening, where he will share some of his sweetest secrets with eager bakers from across the kingdom.Ĭhef Nicolas’ patisserie passion started at the age of two alongside his twin brother Julien, at his parents’ bakery amidst the Vosges Mountains of Épinal, France.
