Disciples Escoffier International Gastronomic Heritage Course


This degree is supported by CY Gastronomie (University of Cergy Pontoise) with the "International Gastronomic Heritage Disciples Escoffier" course. It meets the needs of young people attracted by "high-end" catering, who want studies combining very high technicality and business management. This degree is sponsored by the Disciples Escoffier International association, which gives it a very technical flavor. This will also allow students to enter a network that will support them in the search for work-study locations and will offer them a catalog of internships abroad to carry out their international mobility at the end of their training.

2 options: - Culinary production manager with expertise in French and international heritage and gastronomy; - Manager with expertise in the art of hospitality and commercial management of a restaurant.



Auguste Escoffier

An innovator, he revolutionized working methods in and outside the kitchen, imposed fixed-price menus, designed new equipment, put the product back at the center of the plate and valued the work of French producers by encouraging them to export. Auguste Escoffier is also a avant-garde who thinks 100 years ahead of the game about recycling and sharing resources. And of course, he remains the author of the chefs' bible, the famous Culinary Guide and its 5,000 recipes. In short, without him, gastronomy would not be what it is, nor what it will be.
