Le Cordon Bleu is widely recognized as one of the world’s oldest and largest institutes of learning for hospitality management and the culinary arts. The school originated in Paris in 1895 and quickly became one of the most esteemed cooking schools in the world.

This partnership blended classical culinary techniques with modern technology and practical training in a new institution offering dedicated culinary students across the nation a quality education. This institution, Le Cordon Bleu Schools North America, today has 13 campuses stretching across ten states.
