« After more than 10 years of rich, professional activities in the world of gastronomy and the restaurant business,  I felt the need to broaden my horizon and to deepen my knowledge. I also wanted to increase my theoretical knowledge on certain topics, as I have many contacts with foreign professionals and it is always useful to learn more.

The variety of the program offered at Hautes Etudes du Goût, together with the quality of the lecturers truly captivated me. I met people from many different places, which was also very interseting.
 
The classes opened new perspectives for further reading and research in order to enrich my personal life.

I feel like I have acquired some new musical notes and new techniques with which I can play to develop new projects. »
