le cordon bleu

my friend, who was visiting me in tbilisi last month has done lots of interesting things in her life. she is interested in all kind of stuff: design, architecture, fashion, cooking. speaking of the last one, she took a two-month course in Paris in famous Le Cordon Bleu, of which she told me the other day. Le Cordon Bleu is the school which julie&julia visited, and exactly the same school which makes greatest chiefs of the world.

i was looking through the courses it offers and have chosen a very nice mix of courses for me. most of all i like the Paris location with Patisserie Course which offers:

Artistic decorative skills
Ice cream & sorbet
Variations on restaurant desserts
Savoury petits fours
Introduction to bread-baking
Mastering bavarian creams & mousses
Caramel & nougatine
Introduction to chocolate : hand tempering & dipping

And this subject from Superior Patisserie Course is my no.1 choice:

The Art of Chocolate: Mousse cakes, tempering of chocolates, hand-dipped & moulded chocolates, mixing different chocolates and textures, chocolate boxes and flowers, sculpture & display

Oh, what a wonderful way it is to spend 2 months of my busy, crazy life.
