The history of the name, Le Cordon Bleu dates back to the 16th century where King Henry III awarded members of the Order of the Holy Spirit a medallion that was suspended from a Blue Ribbon...or Le Cordon Bleu. In the 19th century a collection of recipes, “La Cuisinière Cordon Bleu”, was published and was well received. The collection's success prompted its publishers to open a culinary school with the Cordon Bleu designation. The reputation of the school spread rapidly, both in France and internationally. Since then, students throughout the world have trained in the culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu.
