: Kristen, My name is a Kevin Staff and I am a grad of Le Cordon Bleu ecole de
:
: cuisine et de patisserie, Paris, France.The reason you should go to Le
: Cordon
: Bleu is to study Classic French Haute Cuisine. The Classic Cycle is
: not so much
: concerned with he business side of running a restaurant as the
: pure form of
: creating haute cuisine. This is the focus of the ClassicCycle
: (5 classes that
: lead to the Grande Diplome). The classes are setup in such
: a way as to split
: the time youare sitting in the classroom demonstrations
: and doing practicals in
: your own personal area in the kitchens. 8 to 10
: hours a dayin the school is
: needed in the second and third trimester to
: finnish. Soaking in the culture is
: a major part of studying in Paris and I
: have found it to be an asset in my day
: to day life. This is a tip of a very
: large iceberg. If I can answer any
: particular questions I would be glad
: to. Here is the school address and info:
