Now available for free to hospitality industry staff, Escoffier's e-Learning content includes 45+ culinary foundational videos, recipes and assessment tools covering proper sanitation, essential knife skills, the importance of mise en place, soups and stocks, and vegetable and protein cookery. The e-Learning resources are part of Escoffier's Boulder campus comprehensive professional online programs launched in 2015.
"Many culinary workers are struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic and we wanted to show them our support by sharing this relevant content," said Miles Mitchel, chief academic officer at Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. "We hope they are back in their restaurant kitchens soon, but in the meantime, they can continue to sharpen their culinary skills and knowledge during this downturn."
