Life and career

Born in Alsace, France, Thuet is a fourth-generation chef who began his apprenticeship in his uncle's restaurant at age twelve. He received his formal training at the Lycée Hotelier in Strasbourg, France.[2]

During his early professional years, Thuet worked in two and three star Michelin restaurants and hotels across Europe, including London's Dorchester under the tutelage of chef Anton Mosimann.

Thuet has headed the kitchen of many Toronto restaurants. In addition to being the executive chef of Petite Thuet, Atelier Thuet, and Bite Me!, he also opened a series of retail shops and a wholesale bakery.[3]

Known for his use of locally grown produce purchased at local farmers markets, Thuet also travels to local Mennonite farms to purchase and butcher naturally-raised animals.

A cookbook by Thuet entitled French Food My Way was published in October 2010 by Penguin Publishing.[4]
