People in a food and drink related business and those interested in food as a leisure activity, who seek an understanding gastronomy and why we take pleasure in eating and drinking and its impact on society and culture will benefit from this course.
The course was very interesting in terms of the variety in topics. The literature and guidance made me think more in-depth about the many topics. Discussions, both written and live, were interesting due to the variety in background of all the students and differing points of view. It is a pity that the course went so fast, everyone would have loved for the course to be longer and continue to learn. Thank you, Le Cordon Bleu.
Completing a short course in Gastronomy gave me a lot of insight into the world of food. This course was very intellectually stimulating and has helped me think broadly and critically about all that concerns people and food.
