Workshop Le Cordon Bleu

3-Day Culinary Workshop on Innovation, Creativity and Design 

for the Restaurant Industry

Our two renowned establishments share a common goal in training international participants to the future requirement of the different food sectors. It was only natural that we decided to combine our know-hows into a global force thanks to the complementary nature of our culinary and business expertise.

 

ESSEC and Le Cordon Bleu have come together to create a 3-day workshop around innovation, creativity and design. The aim of this project is to combine the skills and knowledge of business school and culinary school students.
