Recipe of the month

Bittersweet glazed duck breast, crispy polenta, rhubarb

The richness of the duck is complemented by the sweet and sharp poached rhubarb. These contrasting flavours are heightened by the bittersweet glaze whilst the fried polenta adds a crispy finish.

Student Response

Always follow your heart, your mind will eventually learn to catch up. Never regret not doing something. Stand proud and have pride in what you've achieved... opening words by graduate Nicholas Jonathan Machado at this month’s Le Cordon Bleu Sydney Graduation.

The student response address given by Nicholas inspired other graduates as he spoke about being driven to achieve your dreams saying “never stop dreaming, no matter how big. Keep working towards making all your dreams come true. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something and make sure you enjoy chasing those dreams”.

Le Cordon Bleu at Tasting Australia

Le Cordon Bleu Australia was pleased to again support the 2016 Tasting Australia events held in Adelaide.

One of the main attractions was 30 of Australia’s most passionate bloggers presenting an enticing program of expert speakers intermingled with some great South Australian food experiences. Our own, Dr Roger Haden, shares some notes from his presentation at Words to Go 2016, a culinary and travel bloggers forum that ran as part of Tasting Australia. Our students, from the Le Cordon Bleu Australia Bachelor of Business (Food Entrepreneurship), also enjoyed the opportunity to meet with South Australia’s finest food producers at Think Food, an industry-focused tradeshow.

Le Cordon Bleu Adelaide's culinary arts students were given the opportunity to work with iconic chef Cheong Liew as he presented his "A Cheong Liew Retrospective" dinner.

Sydney students cater event for 4,000 guests

Gaining experience while studying with Le Cordon Bleu is one of the many valuable skills students learn.

Le Cordon Bleu Sydney students from the culinary and bachelor degree programs joined Troy’s Hospitality Group to cater for 4,000 guests from a global marketing company at the Sydney Olympic Show Ground recently. Catering for such a large group gave our students the opportunity to experience firsthand the pace and excitement of a large event.
