IstCI is finalizing the last details of its new partnership; a seminar
for professionals that will be held with 
the collaboration of Alain
Ducasse Formation in September.
Alain Ducasse, considered to be one of the most renowned French chefs of his generation, is at the helm of more than 20 restaurants around the world. His desire to pass on this knowledge lies at the heart of all his projects. Over the past thirty years, as a chef, restaurateur, hotelier and teacher, Alain Ducasse has developed a unique expertise in the art of good living and good eating which can be clearly seen throughout the various global initiatives of the Groupe Alain Ducasse. As a passionate leader, he is constantly searching to share his vast cultural awareness and curiosity with the rest of the world. www.alain-ducasse.com
Alain Ducasse Formation (ADF) was established in Paris to train and educate professional chefs by combining the basic technique, local cuisines and specific market needs. ADF has extended, with ADF+, its activities all over the world through local partnerships with schools and universities to create culinary arts programs for future chefs: ADF+TSUJI in Japan, ADF+UDLA in Mexico, ADF+ESTACIO in Brazil, ADF+ENDERUN in Phillippines.
Moreover, ADF teamed with prestigious gastronomic schools in order to set up precise training sessions in cooking and pastry, in situ. These seminars consist in demonstration courses, and/or practical classes in order to offer participants the possibility to take part in the making of the recipes. La Cuisine-South Korea, Hofmann-Spain, St.Joseph University-Lebanon, Culinary Institute of America-USA are among the partners.
The first seminar with Chef Tim Briggs from Alain Ducasse Formation will take place at the IstCI’s headquarters in Istanbul, from September 23rd to September 26th, 2008.
