Le Cordon Bleu London Introduces New Plant-Based Culinary Arts Diplomas

Le Cordon Bleu London is set to elevate its commitment to plant-based cuisine education with the relaunch of two distinct diplomas: the Diploma in Plant-Based Culinary Arts – Cuisine and the Diploma in Plant-Based Culinary Arts – Pâtisserie. Building on the success of their initial Plant-Based Culinary Arts diploma launched in 2019, these programs are poised to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in the vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based culinary sectors.

The Diploma in Plant-Based Culinary Arts – Cuisine places a strong emphasis on whole foods with minimal processing. Students will delve into the nuanced relationships between flavors, textures, and global cuisines, gaining expertise in crafting delectable dishes solely from plant-based ingredients. The curriculum offers a creative repertoire of product knowledge, skills, and recipes, ensuring students are well-prepared to cater to the evolving preferences of today’s culinary landscape.

On the other hand, the Diploma in Plant-Based Culinary Arts – Pâtisserie is dedicated to the art of creating exquisite pastries, bakery items, cakes, desserts, petit fours, and chocolate products. This program combines the precision of traditional pastry techniques with innovative approaches to plant-based baking, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the diverse and evolving world of plant-based pâtisserie.

Both programs are designed to equip students with the essential skills, techniques, and competencies specific to plant-based culinary arts. The curriculum encompasses chef demonstrations, practical sessions, and workshops with a focus on sensory evaluation assessments. Students will have the unique opportunity to learn from Le Cordon Bleu Master Chefs and lecturers, whose expertise is drawn from Michelin-starred restaurants and some of the world’s finest hotels.

One distinguishing feature of these diplomas is the exclusive access to specialist knowledge from guest speakers, including lectures on Korean Temple Food by Venerable Beop Song, a Buddhist nun and acclaimed chef. This is part of Le Cordon Bleu London’s commitment to providing a holistic culinary education that includes cultural insights and gastronomic innovations.

These diplomas are not only a testament to Le Cordon Bleu’s dedication to culinary excellence but also a response to the increasing interest in plant-based living. The relaunch of these programs allows students to deepen their knowledge of plant-based cuisine or pâtisserie and provides comprehensive training in the art and ingredients of plant-based culinary arts.
