Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Miami Visiting Culinary VIP Series
The Visiting Culinary VIP Series is created in support of the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Miami Spanish language program and brings leading industry restaurateurs, writers, chefs and consultants including Maricel Presilla, Patricia Quintana, Xiomara Ardolina, and Roberto Santibañez directly to the students in the Spanish language program. These Visiting Culinary VIPs are role models with valuable experience in mapping a career in the food and beverage and hospitality industries, particularly in the Hispanic community.
The Visiting Culinary VIP Series is part of the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Miami Leadership Initiatives, providing added value to the educational experience. Students learn how industry leaders forged successful careers, and students have an opportunity to engage and interact with the VIPs. The series, which begins August 19 and continues through December 30, offers hands-on demonstrations and interactive presentations by the guest VIPs.
Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Miami is the first location in the U.S. to offer Spanish-speaking students the opportunity to learn the world-renowned methods and traditions of Le Cordon Bleu while also learning English language skills. The Spanish-language curriculum is designed exclusively for Spanish-speaking students in a 30-week culinary diploma program identical to the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Miami program taught in English, and emphasizes the skills necessary to participate, communicate and advance within the U.S. hospitality industry, including basic interpersonal and conversational English-language classes.
