IIHM Launches Institute of Pastry and Culinary in Pune
Pune, India :
A new Patisserie and Culinary Institute has opened in the city of
Pune.
After the roaring success of its first institute in Bangalore, the IIHM
Institute of Patisserie and Culinary (IIPC) has just opened its second branch
in Pune, the ‘Queen of the Deccan’. IIPC Pune will be housed in the
International Institute of Hotel Management’s World Campus in Pune’s Viman
Nagar.
The world-class pastry school is headed by renowned Pastry
Expert, Chef Avijit Ghosh, Brand Ambassador of the Belgian chocolate
company Callebaut and former Corporate Pastry Chef, Leela Palaces, Hotels and
Resorts. The institute will provide world-class education and training in the
art of pastry and culinary arts to aspiring chefs, bakers, pastry makers, and
culinary professionals who are looking to hone their skills and take their
careers to the next level. The curriculum has been designed to provide students
with a strong foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of
bakery and dessert making.
Within a year of opening, IIPC Bangalore
has managed to establish itself as the leading pastry and culinary institute
in Bangalore. IIPC Pune looks to do the same in the city which is known as the
education hub of Maharashtra. IIPC Pune will offer both a nine-month and a six-month
certificate course in patisserie, besides weekend courses. IIPC Pune is
equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a fully equipped
kitchen, a pastry lab and a demonstration kitchen. The courses will be taught
by experienced pastry chefs, including international faculty like Chef
Sarah Hartnett, all under the guidance of Chef Avijit Ghosh.
IIHM believes that there is a growing
demand for skilled pastry chefs and culinary professionals in the hospitality
industry. With the increase in the number of hotels, restaurants, and cafés in
Pune, there is a need for trained professionals who can deliver high-quality
dishes and desserts to customers. The institute aims to fill this gap by
providing world-class training to aspiring chefs and pastry makers.
The founders are excited about the institute's potential to transform
the culinary landscape of Pune and provide aspiring chefs and pastry makers
with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the industry.
On the occasion, Chef Avijit Ghosh said, “IIPC is a unique and
innovative institute. Students interested in learning the art of
chocolate-making will find a lot of inspiration for making various kinds of
chocolates and pastries here.”
Dr Suborno Bose, the Chairman and Chief Mentor of IIHM said, “We
are very excited about bringing IIPC to the lovely city of Pune. It will add a
new dimension to culinary education in the city. We felt there was a need in
Pune for a world class, state-of-the-art patisserie institute and that’s
exactly what IIPC is. We are delighted to open IIPC’s second campus here.”
