My experience at Institut Paul Bocuse was very fruitful.

The program not only broadened my knowledge in the culinary world, but it was also an amazing opportunity to meet other people and exchange cultures and traditions. The tips and techniques I learned at the Institut were helpful and made my work in the kitchen a lot easier.

My advice to the next promotion would be to benefit from each and every moment you spend there because these are some of the days you will never forget in your life!

“This 14-week programme was an interesting and challenging experience. I learned many things, went out of my comfort zone, and challenged myself”.

“The internship with Institut Paul Bocuse was one of the most memorable experiences in my life. It gave me a completely different outlook on food and cooking in general.

We learned lots in the kitchen, but some of my favorite memories were outside the kitchen cooking the native cuisines of the other students in the program.

Having Institut Paul Bocuse on my resume is a huge competitive advantage. I had to do a tasting as a part of the interview at one of the nation’s best luxury hotels, The Windsor Court. The technique and precision I learned through my internship helped me to create a menu that was both delicious and beautiful.

When people ask who catered certain events at the hospital, that is all my administrators brag about: We have a French trained chef that works for us.”
