Le Cordon Bleu International Chef Philippe Clergue will bring a touch of France to Tasting Australia. The Michelin star restaurant-trained chef will visit Adelaide and Sydney between April 29 and May 13 to conduct a series of Master Classes and participate in a number of Tasting Australia events including acting as VIP guest judge and presenter at the Le Cordon Bleu World Food Media Awards.
In addition, Chef Clergue will give members of the public a fantastic opportunity to attend one of his Master Classes at the Adelaide Le Cordon Bleu school at Regency TAFE March 6 – something one would ordinarily have to be a student of the Le Cordon Bleu Academy to experience. As an added bonus, renowned Australian chef Simon Bryant will co-host the Adelaide master class. A series of Master Classes will also be held in Sydney (details below).
Le Cordon Bleu, one of the world's most prominent organisations dedicated to culinary, hospitality and tourism education, was founded in Paris in 1895. Le Cordon Bleu Australia educates over 2,000 students each year at its Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne schools in a wide range of culinary arts and hospitality management programs. Le Cordon Bleu graduates are highly desired in their respective fields, and many go on to exciting careers in leading hotels, restaurants and resorts throughout Australia and the world.
