130 Years Anniversary: a year of celebration
2025 saw Le Cordon Bleu celebrate 130 years of excellence in culinary education. Here we look back at those celebrations from around the world.

We teamed up with Great Italian Chefs to host an exclusive cooking event on coffee with Michelin-starred Chef Roberto Petza and Le Cordon Bleu's Master Chef Nicolas Houchet.
Coffee has become an ingredient of its own, and favoured by many chefs around the world. Michelin-starred chef Roberto Petza and Chef Nicolas Houchet demonstrated its versatility in two different recipes.
Chef Petza prepared a beautiful salad of Jerusalem artichoke with Kafa coffee dressing. While guests were finishing up their dish, Wine Development Manager Matthieu Longuere MS came to the kitchen to introduce the wine he selected to pair with the dish.
Master Pâtissier Nicolas shared some of his pâtisserie techniques on the best way to prepare an Iced Coffee Soufflé – a smooth and creamy frozen treat.
