Le Cordon Blue - Paris
My wife wants me to go to Paris with her for 6-12 month to attend Le Cordon Blue. She wants to get the The Patisserie Diploma. Anyone knows anything about the school and/or the program? Is it really better than any other cuisine school? What other school would you recommend?
Still at a preliminary phase; gathering info etc ...

Man that would be a sweet "trip," but truthfully (in my opinion of course), the elemental skills of cooking are likely the same at most schools regardless of location. I don't believe there's been any revolutionary methods of cooking an egg for quite some time.
That being said, don't let my thoughts discourage you. I love cooking, and I can't think of too many things that would be more fun than living in Paris for a year and going to culinary school. FCI in NYC is great too!

I agree guys. Cooking an egg in Paris can't be that much different than in NYC. Part of the reason is to be in Paris. We go there once a year and love the city.

That's really a once in a lifetime experience (and a reason to go abroad for a few months). If she's really interested, I say go for it. Just make sure you still log into L4P over there.

Ive hired alot of culinary grads. The best chefs all came from the FCI!!!! Originally Posted by Turbology
