Diplôme de Cuisine
Not just another course in a cooking school, this part of professional diploma in culinary arts provides students with the fundamental culinary skills from the use of culinary equipment to the planning and execution of elaborate dishes. Successful completion of the Basic, Intermediate and Superior Cuisine certificates results in the award of the Diplôme de Cuisine.

Our Basic Cuisine Course introduces students to the adventures and traditions of basic cuisine. Here they will learn how to use and integrate condiments, herbs and spices into their recipes producing a variety of flavours. Upon completion, Intermediate Cuisine will take them to the heart of French cuisine - classic regional dishes that reflect and exemplify the more complicated application of the techniques introduced at the basic level. The pinnacle of the programme is the Superior Cuisine where there is exposure to the evolution of French cuisine today and its integration into global contemporary cuisine. This is where students will acquaint themselves with the intricacies that are required at the highest level of food production for both contemporary and haute cuisine menus.

In every module, students will learn to master the necessary skills to create fine cuisine dishes through a combination of demonstrations & practicals, and separate theory lessons. The focus is on teaching the techniques followed with tasting. In our cooking class, our chefs lead demonstrations on how to prepare dishes to the highest professional standard. You are then tasked with replicating what you have been shown in one of the dedicated cuisine practical kitchens. Et voila! You’re a step away from The Grand Diplôme!

 

Diplôme de Pâtisserie
What are the French without their magnificent patisserie? Here, students are offered a vigorous and exciting lesson allowing them to master the techniques of classic pâtisserie while being introduced to all aspects of the kitchen which consist of Basic, Intermediate and Superior Pâtisserie. Progressively, they will learn to prepare a wide selection of pastries served in restaurants, pâtisserie shops and tearooms through the classic and contemporary French desserts, advanced techniques in chocolate and sugarwork. Doesn’t that sound appetising?

Basic Pâtisserie level will familiarise students with the various combinations, properties and applications of pâtisserie as they progressively learn to create a wide selection of cakes, desserts and pastries all by hand and without the aid of machines. During Intermediate Pâtisserie, they are assisted by the Le Cordon Bleu Master Chefs to develop artistic skills necessary to prepare and decorate a variety of French desserts and pastries. This course allows them to prepare variations on a range of classical and contemporary French desserts all from scratch. Finally, in Superior Pâtisserie level, Restaurant Desserts, Chocolate Work and Decorative Sugarwork will be taught separately.
