: Hi! I'm Olivia and I own a restaurant in Cebu, Philippines. I would like to take a short course in cooking/culinary arts.
: I would like to study in a Paris cooking school bec. not only is France the center of culinary arts, it is also a beautiful place.
: Aside from Le cordon bleu (i already have their brochure), are there any other good ones in paris? How do i get in touch with them?
: Appreciate your suggestions!
