For the Love of Pastry

摘要

Sebastien Thieffine loves his job.It's evident as he walks through his kitchen,checking racks of chocolate eggs in the pre-Easter rush, reviewing procedures with his staff. The mood is busy but calm, a productive energy that Chef Thieffine seems to effortlessly encourage in his team, a smile always at the ready in spite of the madness that must be part of preparing for Easter weekend at The Ritz-Carlton Resorts in Naples, FL. Chef Thieffine is currently the executive pastry chef at this famed property-having previously held pastry chef positions at other Ritz-Carlton properties in Palm Beach, Philadelphia and Kapalua. He is not only responsible for the bread, pastry and dessert offerings in the property's restaurants and room service, but also for catered events and the 'to-go' items at the cafes and retail counters.
