About Le Cordon Bleu
Few institutions of any kind possess the
prestigious reputation of Le Cordon Bleu. This internationally
renowned school for the culinary arts has become synonymous
with expertise, innovation, tradition, and refinement - qualities
which are painstakingly nurtured by the school.
Founded in Paris in 1895, Le Cordon Bleu's name traces back
to a high honor bestowed upon members of the Order of the
Holy Spirit by King Henry III in the 1500's. The awarded medallion,
called the Cross of the Holy Spirit, was suspended from a
Blue Ribbon . . . or Le Cordon Bleu.
At the end of the 19th century, a recipe collection entitled
"La Cuisiniere Cordon Bleu" was published to much
acclaim. The collection's success prompted its publishers
to open a culinary school with the Cordon Bleu designation.
The reputation of the school spread rapidly, both in France
and internationally. Since then, students from throughout
the world have trained in the culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu.
Le Cordon Bleu's partnership with Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts St. Louis further expands this influence in
America.
Le Cordon Bleu's arrival in the United States is significant
beyond mere expansion. It ushers in a new educational era
in culinary arts that combines classical European techniques
with modern American technology and training. As a result,
students will be afforded even greater opportunities to acquire
the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the culinary
world.
As a testament to their accomplishment, each graduate will
receive the coveted Le Cordon Bleu diplôme.
