Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
Le Petit Cordon Bleu is the children's class at the famous Le Cordon Bleu London school, a three-hour session where an eight to twelve year old and their accompanying adult cook side by side under a chef. You learn real techniques rather than novelty crafts and take your finished dishes home to share. No previous cooking experience is needed.
Why it works for a dad and child
It is one adult to one child working the same bench, so you are chopping, plating and tasting as a team in a serious kitchen. Few things beat your kid plating up a dish they made at Le Cordon Bleu.
