  • Access and Participation Statement
    Access and participation statement Introduction Founded in Paris in 1895, Le Cordon Bleu is considered today the largest network of culinary and hospitality schools in the world with more than 35 institutes in 20 countries and 20,000 students of over 100 nationalities trained every year. Le Cordon Bleu officially opened its doors as a culinary school in Paris in 1895. The first Cordon Bleu class was held in January 1896 on rue St Honoré near the Palais Royal. In 1931, former student Dione Lucas helped to open a school under the Le Cordon Bleu name in London. The London school then re-opened after the war at 31 Marylebone Lane. As the reputation grew, the London school relocated to a larger building at 114 Marylebone Lane in 1968. For over a century, Le Cordon Bleu has become a leading authority on culinary techniques, training and education. In January 2012, the school relocated to brand new premises at 15 Bloomsbury Square near the British Museum. The new school premises feature professional modern kitchens and classroom facilities offering students the latest and most innovative opportunities in culinary education. The following statement has been prepared in response to the stated “national priorities” for Higher Education in the following areas: • Access: To increase the entry rates of students from underrepresented groups to higher education; • Success: To improve the non-continuation rates of students from underrepresented groups; and • Progression: To improve the rates of progression of students from underrepresented groups. It also seeks to outline Le Cordon Bleu’s ambitions and strategy in this area and explain some of the specific actions in place to support students.

    [Food for Thought (Series): Ep. 1 The Legacy of French Cooking] Intro: You’re listening to Death and Numbers, a podcast created by the Humanities Media Project in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. Today we crack open two cookbooks to ask: when did French cuisine become synonymous with fine dining? Introductory music - theme “music” of Julia & Jacques cooking at home A: I’m Amy Vidor. C: And I’m Caroline Barta. A: This episode explores questions Caroline and I often ask each other, such as: How can collaboration impact the success of a project? How can learning benefit from shared labor? C: Our first episode in the series, “Food for Thought,” examines how food writing shapes cultural transmission. For today’s story, we begin in 1651... [Pause] A: ...with the publication of Le Vray Cuisinier François (The French Cook) by François Pierre de la Varenne. C: La Varenne’s cookbook established modern French cuisine and helped launched the home cook. In his preface, La Varenne writes, (quote) Dear Reader, in recompense all that I would ask of you is that my book be for you as pleasurable as it is useful (unquote). A: La Varenne presents a shocking concept for the 17th century reader: the notion of cooking as fun. The wording of the preface signals that La Varenne may have written this book to encourage cooking as a leisure activity, rather than a professional endeavor. [Pause] C: What changes with La Varenne, and those that follow him, is access. Before the 1600s, cooking was a carefully protected set of skills, monitored by guilds.
