The Festive Season is Nearly Upon us

Christmas is fast approaching and with it comes a whole host of festive culinary delights from Le Cordon Bleu, whether it be in the form of an Advent calendar, a Christmas magazine or festive themed courses to get you ready for the season.

So what exactly have Le Cordon Bleu London lined up for the festive season?
Le Cordon Bleu London have curated a range of festive-themed short courses which can prepare you for the big day and the other festive days surrounding the Christmas period.

From a full Christmas Dinner Workshop, to a Christmas Chocolate Workshop (making perfect homemade gourmet gifts), you will be sure to wow your guests having completed one of our culinary Christmas courses. Each lasting 1 day, these courses are perfect for beginners and more experienced culinary enthusiasts alike.

If wine is more your thing, or perhaps an area you are looking for improvement in, then why not try our Festive Wine Workshop? This 2 hour tasting masterclass from Master Sommelier Matthieu Longuere prepares you for the festive season with a drink option for each step of the way, whether it be a sparkling mulled wine to help you sing carols, or the perfect Bloody Mary for New Year's Day. With eight drinks to sample, five of these are wines which pair perfectly with our Christmas Dinner Workshop menu.

If you know someone who enjoys cooking at home our 2024 short courses can make the perfect gift. We have gift cards available which allow the recipient the choice of course to redeem the voucher against. What's more, the gift cards can be redeemed on our wide range of products available in La Boutique so there is plenty of choice.
