Francois Dionot, Director of LAcademie de Cuisine, was pleased but not surprised that the culinary arts school he founded in 1976 was recognized by the culinary community. It has taken 29 years of hard work, but I am delighted that LAcademie has been recognized among the best culinary arts schools in the country. Our graduates are truly professionals. They are among the hardest working and most talented cooks in the business, and we receive great support from the fine dining establishments in the Washington area as well as around the country who hire our students and graduates in their kitchens, said Chef Dionot.
New culinary arts training programs are beginning in July and October of 2005. At LAcademie de Cuisine, students can study:
Culinary Arts, with emphasis on French cuisine and techniques
Pastry Arts, from tiny hors doeuvres to elaborate wedding cakes
And Recreational Classes for both beginners and experienced cooks
