Maurice Thiebaut started his culinary career at the tender age of 14 years, his aim to be a CHEF. His first step was to apprentice (3 years) in the kitchen of the Hotel du Commerce in Pau, France, where he considered it a privilege to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for room and board only.
With the discipline of a perfectionist and the passion of an artist in his heart, he followed his dream through the finest hotels and restaurants in France and England, then to Western Canada, and finally Nova Scotia.
In 1972, Maurice accepted the position of Executive Chef at the Keltic Lodge, Cape Breton. It was soon evident that Maurice's standards of excellence in the culinary arts were equaled by his natural desire to treat people to the best possible experience and service. In 1979 he became General Manager of the venerable Pines Resort Hotel, Digby, Nova Scotia.
As a gold medal winner for Canada in the1976 Culinary Olympics in Frankfurt, Germany and again in the 1978 International Exhibition on Jewish Culinary Art in Jerusalem, Israel. Maurice knows the importance of food presentation and creativity.
In January 1998, Maurice took early retirement and created his own company Cooking With Panache , focusing on Food & Beverage Consulting, product promotions, cooking classes, cooking demonstrations, and has appeared frequently as a guest on television and radio.
He also produces and emcees celebrity cook-off competitions for festivals and fund-raising events. His personality, together with his great sense of humor bring a magical touch of PANACHE!
Maurice Thiebaut operates his company now under CWP Enterprises to better reflect his - Home & Garden Innovative Products.
In 2008 CWP Enterprises introduced The Ultimate Knife Sharpener, 2-stage sharpening process.
