“With over 120 years in service, we have a long tradition in providing excellence in teaching the classics of cuisine, but now with a presence in more than 20 countries, our teaching reflects the internationalisation of culinary development around the world today. In this context we are very happy to be opening a new Le Cordon Bleu School in Perth, which is regarded as a leader in culinary and gastronomy excellence in Australia,” added president of Le Cordon Bleu, Andr Cointreau.
