New ambassador: Samuel ALBERT

02/02/2023 - Samuel Albert is from Anjou. His mother gives him the taste of garden products and family cooking. Her passion for cooking also comes from her two grandmothers. He attended the Sadi Carnot-Jean Bertin Hotel School in Saumur and then, during his BTS in Hotel Management in Saumur, he did his internship with Joël Robuchon in Monaco. After graduating, he went to work for two years at Joël Robuchon’s workshop in London to learn English. Over the next 10 years, he travelled the world to learn and research new ideas, in the United Kingdom, La Réunion, Switzerland, China, New Zealand and Japan.

In 2019, after his victory in Top Chef season 10, Samuel Albert leaves his position as chef at the Belgian Embassy in Japan to open the restaurant Les Petits Prés on his native lands, a place where he offers a cuisine full of flavours and original products for an invitation to multiple culinary trips.

The young chef has just imagined 12 recipes flavoured with Cointreau, St-Rémy brandy, Mount Gay rum or Belle de Brillet pear liqueur. 12 recipes filmed, step by step, which we will be pleased to share with you in the coming weeks.

We are pleased to welcome Samuel Albert as ambassador of our culinary flavours.
