As one of the world’s leading school in culinary and hospitality, Le Cordon Bleu was thrilled to welcome legendary chef Marco Pierre White to meet culinary arts students in Melbourne in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear the famous author, chef and media personality speak.

The famous chef shared stories about starting his career at 17, travelling to London to train in classical French cooking with Albert and Michel Roux at Le Gavroche. He spoke fondly about every chef who had shared their skills, and how that made him hungry for knowledge. His eye for detail is what makes even the simplest of Marco’s dishes memorable.

Marco says that Le Cordon Bleu is doing a marvellous job, as the classical culinary techniques will never go out of fashion. This reaffirms the high status and reputation that Le Cordon Bleu holds within the industry and explains why graduates of Le Cordon Bleu are highly sought after by employers
