As part of its 130th anniversary celebrations, Le Cordon Bleu announces a culinary tour by its Parisian chef instructor Frédéric Deshayes in the United States for three exclusive dates in Atlanta, San Francisco, and Brooklyn.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This fall, The Bleu Table U.S. Tour invites aspiring chefs, culinary students and all food enthusiasts to experience the mastery behind iconic creations - from delicate choux pastries to perfectly balanced macarons.
These culinary demonstrations, workshops and tastings will be led by Frédéric Deshayes, Pastry Chef Instructor at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, and sometimes accompanied by alumni who graduated from the Paris institute.
Chef Frédéric Deshayes, originally from the Paris region, is a distinguished chef skilled in both cuisine and pastry, holding CAP certifications in both disciplines. His career spans top establishments such as Le Pré Catelan, Pierre Hermé, and Plaza Athénée, with international experience in Belgium, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore, where he served as Executive Chef Instructor for nine years and later founded Do-main Bakery. A decorated chef, he won the Silver Medal at the Concours d'Arpajon (1988), was named Best Pastry Chef at the World Gourmet Summit (2016) and has represented Singapore in international competitions. He has been with Le Cordon Bleu Paris as a Pastry Chef Instructor since 2019.
During each workshop, participants will discover the Chef's refined techniques and learn how to prepare two savory recipes and two sweet recipes that are typical of French gastronomy:
- Burgundy Choux Pastries (Gougères bourguignonnes)
