Le Cordon Bleu Adds New Certificate in Plant-Based Pâtisserie

Le Cordon Bleu, a top culinary school, has introduced a new Certificate in Plant-Based Pâtisserie, following the success of their Diploma in Plant-Based Culinary Arts added last year. The ten-week online course will focus on vegan baking techniques, teaching students how to substitute traditional ingredients with plant-based options like animal fats, eggs, and dairy products. The curriculum will cover essential techniques in baking, such as aeration, emulsification, and setting, with live online lessons running from November 1, 2021 to February 4, 2022.

In addition to the new Pâtisserie certificate, Le Cordon Bleu also offers a Diploma in Plant-Based Culinary Arts, set to start in early 2022 on their London campus. This innovative program responds to the increasing demand for vegan restaurants and products, providing students with comprehensive culinary education in plant-based cooking. The diploma consists of six modules that cover a wide range of topics, from professional culinary skills to specific ingredients like grains, nuts, and seeds. Anyone can enroll in the course, regardless of their culinary background, and complete it in three months. For more information on both plant-based courses, visit the school's website.
