Top Cooking Classes
What do you learn in Culinary School? The short answer is a lot. The longer answer is some of what you learn is really boring, some very cool. On the cool side, here's a list of the top ten most popular elective cooking workshops offered by le Cordon Bleu. These classes are held on Saturdays at the organization's “Bleu Ribbon Kitchen,” situated in many convenient locations. These are Le Cordon Bleu's “Enthusiast Cooking Classes,” and are open to all, as space will allow. Workshops are held in fully equipped commercial kitchens with top-of-the-line appliances. So come on over (or go online) and bring that extra special something to the table.
