This resulted in several events and partnerships with the French Embassy, Campus France and the Alliance Francaise. A la Carte Cooking module with Chef Gilles Perrot, Executive Chef of French Ambassador The most recent collaboration was the two-week dinner event at Chez West in December 2015. During this period, the Diploma students executed a menu specially created by Chef Gilles Perrot, resident chef of the French Ambassador, his Excellency Benjamin Dubertret. On December 18th, College West hosted his Excellency and members of the French Embassy at Chez West. Guests were very impressed by the dinner prepared and presented by the Chef and ITE students. Collaborative project with the Alliance Francaise – A menu inspired by Chef Michel Bras In January, as part of the collaborative project with the Alliance Francaise, ITE students were given the opportunity to watch the French culinary movie “Entre Bras”, courtesy of the Alliance Francaise. Students were then asked to create a four course menu inspired by Chef Michel Bras as part of their A La Carte Cooking module. The menu was very well received by the guests who dined at Chez West. A lucky draw was also conducted for the members of the Alliance Francaise to win 6 pairs of dining vouchers to dine at Chez West, for the chance to taste the special menu.
