THE London School of Hospitality and Tourism, part of the University of West London in Ealing, this week hosted a lunch for the French Ambassador, Sylvie Bermann.
The event celebrated French cuisine as part of an international Good France (Goût de France) campaign, and culinary arts students prepared a five-course meal featuring renowned French ingredients.
The taster lunch took place at the University’s training restaurant, Pillars, and guests enjoyed classical music performances from the London College of Music.
In addition to preparing lunch, two UWL students were invited to be part of a team to prepare the official Good France dinner at the ambassador’s residence, alongside executive chef Gilles Quillot.
Good France is a celebration of French gastronomy that invited restaurants around the world to serve simultaneous dinners honouring the merits of French cuisine.
Mia Touzin, field leader in hospitality and event management, said: “UWL has strong links with French culinary arts institutions and the French Ambassador’s residence.”
