Laurent LUO, RÉMY COINTREAU GASTRONOMIE new Ambassador
10/19/2021 - “I began doing Pastry since I was a kid, because my mum is a Pastry Chef and my father is a Bakery Chef. I often went to help them in their store. After that, I worked in several stores in various cities, as Changsha and Shanghai. In 2018, I decided to go to Xiamen to help a friend to open her bakery-pastry, Douce France. In summer 2021, TDessert, the international school based in Beijing, opened a second school in Xiamen. I accepted a post as professor and since then, I’ve been teaching pastry, chocolate-making and bakery. In parallel I’m consultant for a few stores and great brands as Cointreau. My greatest dream would be to open my own laboratory or shop! While the French pastry is always my favourite field, I am also passionate about the chocolate-making, bakery and more recently, ice-cream. The Rémy Cointreau Gastronomie spirits range offers me a larger palette of flavours that sublimate my creations. It’s an honour and a great pleasure for me to become Rémy Cointreau Gastronomy Ambassador!”
