Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Minneapolis/St. Paul hosts Chocovic Demonstration Event
On Tuesday Aug. 25, 2009, Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts (LCB) Minneapolis/St. Paul hosted a Chocovic demonstration event at the Mendota Heights, Minn. campus. Executive Pastry Chef Jimmy McMillan from the Peninsula, Chicago in conjunction with in2food and Mirabella Specialty Foods inc. worked closely with two current LCB Pâtisserie and Baking students Kristina Rowe and Jim Jondreau over the course of two days to put together a demonstration for nearly 60 people.
Using two classrooms, the Chef and students prepared chocolate and pastry delicacies such as “chocolate lollipops,” ice cream terrine with sherbet and gelato, as well as two beautifully presented plated desserts. LCB Minneapolis/St. Paul was pleased to host the event and work alongside Chef Jimmy and with the in2food group. The demonstration and presentation featured Chocovic chocolate and was very well received by the group which was mainly comprised of LCB students and alumni now in the industry. Both Rowe and Jondreau learned an immeasurable amount, and Chef McMillan said they were two of the best assistants he’s worked with. The event was coordinated by Chef Amy Shipshock, department chair Pâtisserie and Baking.
