Course Introduction
Participant Stories
Margarida Crujo
Germany
My interest on this course was directed towards a specific topic (grain fermentation). I could never imagine how fascinated I would feel going through the other topics too! Fermentation can be an art, but also a way of living, and it's a pleasure to introduce it in my daily life. Thank you so much to Rosie, who contaminated me with her knowledge and sensitivity to the fermentation world.

The art of fermentation was a very special and well developed course. The teacher Rosie is extremely knowledgeable of the topic and always there to help and support us. Le Cordon Bleu has set a high standard for the online courses. We need more!
