On 19 October, Le Cordon Bleu Paris institute hosted the grand finale of its 2026 Scholarship competition. After several preliminary rounds, twelve finalists came together for one last challenge, full of enthusiasm and determination to showcase their skills!
During the earlier stages, they had already shown great strength of character and a strong understanding of Le Cordon Bleu. Now it was time to head to the kitchen for two challenges: preparing mushroom risotto and making a choux pastry. Both tasks gave the finalists the chance to demonstrate their techniques, creativity and organisational skills.
