25 October 2018 –
Le Cordon Bleu Paris is delighted to welcome back
Paula Mendez Carreras, former student at the Institute. We are delighted to welcome this
international chef during a demonstration at Le Cordon Bleu Paris on 30th October 2018.
Paula Mendez Carreras became
passionate about French gastronomy thanks to her training at
Le Cordon Bleu Paris in
cuisine and patisserie in the early 1990s.
Following her internship at the well-known
Pastry shop Gérald Mulot in Paris, Paula decided to develop her
professional experience internationally by moving to New York. After one year of internships in 2 reputable restaurants, chef Mendes Carreras continued her training at
Le Cordon Bleu London.
Returning to her
native Argentina, she opened
Splendid, her own restaurant, which was a success from the moment it opened. Looking to pursue her professional path, she decided to
become executive chef at Le Biblo gastronomic restaurant in Beunos Aires. Reviews on her are glowing and unanimous, saluting her work and the quality of her dishes. Her career is also dotted in
gastronomic discoveries from various international voyages (Australia, Singapore, etc.) that tend to
influence her cuisine.
In order to transmit her knowledge, she animates a
cooking show on TV that has been broadcast for over
6 years throughout Latin America. Subsequently, chef Mendez Carreras decided to
open a private space in Argentina, dedicated to cooking: a place where
learning, sharing her knowledge and culinary pleasure merge.
