"And if you're going to cooking school in London, there's really only one place to start - Le Cordon Bleu. Founded in Paris in 1895, it's one of the oldest, most famous and most prestigious cooking schools out there, with campuses all around the world. The London school has been around since 1931 and now has two campuses and even a restaurant, CORD, which opened in 2022."
"The school offers serious full-time diplomas if you're planning on actually making this your career. But for the rest of us enthusiasts there are a whole load of short courses covering everything from pastry and patisserie to the art of making a beef wellington. As we were keen to really get stuck in (but without quitting our jobs) we went for the four-day Cuisine Techniques course, which packed a lot in to a week - knife skills, basic sauces, pasta, fish techniques, and elementary butchery."
Le Cordon Bleu's London campus offers both full-time diplomas and numerous short courses for enthusiasts, including pastry, patisserie and specialty dishes. A four-day Cuisine Techniques course covers knife skills, basic sauces, pasta making, fish techniques and elementary butchery. Classes take place at the Fleet Street campus below the CORD restaurant in a professional kitchen with 14 stations and high-end equipment such as sharp knives and induction hobs. Sessions typically start at 11:30 and finish around 5pm. Multiple qualified instructors rotate across days to maintain variety. The London school traces its roots to Le Cordon Bleu, founded in Paris in 1895.
