New Short Courses: In Celebration of 130 years of Le Cordon Bleu

Across the globe our network of culinary training institutes, alumni, and close partners are joining us in celebrating a new milestone; 130 years of culinary excellence.

Le Cordon Bleu has grown tremendously since its humble origins as the publication ‘La Cuisinière Cordon Bleu’, a magazine that was born to encourage women to enter the culinary world. 130 years on, we continue to inspire the world to foster their passion for cuisine and pâtisserie.

Here in Wellington, we are kicking off our celebrations by providing a collection of short courses and events. With our renovations completed last year, we have never had a better opportunity to offer our students and the wider community a taste of Le Cordon Bleu. Later in the year we will be hosting multiple alumni gatherings and events for our graduates throughout New Zealand, as well as demonstrations for potential new students. For now, we hope you enjoy our offering of new short courses and make sure to subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date as we reveal more later this year.
