About Corporate & Institutional Culinary Programs
What We’re About
At Lavonne, I believe learning is best when it’s hands-on, creative and a little bit masti (fun). My approach? “Khavanu Pivanu Majja Ni Life!” That’s eat, drink, live life - and bring all that energy into your organisation.
What I Do
- I design custom culinary programs for hotels, professional bodies, and educational institutions.
- This isn’t a standard course off a list; every program is built for your team’s needs, not the masses.
- Whether you’re looking for pastry chef development workshops or something totally out-of-the-box, I’ll collaborate closely to make it happen.
Who It's For
- Hospitality groups and hotels wanting to upskill staff or shake up their kitchen culture.
- Organisations planning unique culinary conventions.
- Colleges or schools seeking chef exchange programs or cultural culinary sessions.
How We Make It Happen
- Specialised symposia: multi-day, all-in culinary events with workshops, panels, and tasting marathons.
- Custom workshops: deep dives on specific skills, like viennoiserie or modern chocolate.
- Fun chef exchange programs: hands-on, laughter-filled learning for students.
What Sets Us Apart
- I’ve worked with folks like Marriott and Oberoi, creating everything from 4-day bakery symposia to niche masterclasses.
- More than just recipes - we’ve got panel talks, food field trips, and big tasting sessions.
- I’m strict on technique but always keep things friendly. Your team’s growth and happiness matter.
If you want corporate cooking skill upgradation that’s not boring, I’ve got you covered.

My Story
Lavonne isn’t just a pastry school, we’re a wild mix of bakers, dreamers, and dhol beats. We remember every student’s story - like the engineer who turned chef, or the shy one who’s now running a bakery. We throw movie nights, dance to Gujarati tunes, and do flour mill field trips. New beginnings are scary, but you’ll never walk alone here. Once a Lavonnette, always family. Yeh hai hamara promise. (This is our promise.)
My Work
Courses for Every Baker - From hands-on pastry diploma to kids baking camp, we teach everything with sugar, flour, and lots of heart.
Learning Beyond Books - You’ll find dessert soirées, movie snack-offs, and culture days. Real fun, real skills, no boring lectures.
Lavonne Family Support - When you join, you’re a Lavonnette for life. Our alumni network and chef mentors always have your back.
Ingredient Field Trips - We visit cacao farms and local flour mills. Bean-to-bar chocolate workshop, anyone? You’ll know your craft from scratch.
