About Custom Corporate Training & Symposia
Every corporate module we design is hands-on and tailored to your specific kitchen flow. We bring the lab to your team, focusing on the high-end ingredients and technical precision, like lamination and modern finishing, that your guests expect in a five-star setting.
At Lavonne, we believe learning works best when it is hands-on, creative, and a little bit of masti. We do not offer standard courses off a list. Instead, we collaborate with you to build programs that solve your kitchen's specific challenges, whether you are a hospitality group looking to upskill your staff or an institution planning a culinary event.
Our approach is grounded in the same rigor we teach in our professional diplomas. We have successfully partnered with brands like Marriott and Oberoi, delivering everything from 4-day industry symposiums to targeted workshops on complex topics like Viennoiserie or modern chocolate work.
What to expect:
- Technical Workshops: Two-day intensive sessions for up to 12 participants. We focus on individual attention with station chefs and unlimited access to premium ingredients like Cacao Barry and Elle & Vire.
- Culinary Symposia: Large-scale events for up to 50 pax. These include auditorium-style panels, guest expert demonstrations, and our signature 8-course dessert degustation evenings.
- Infrastructure: Our Bangalore and Delhi academies are equipped with professional-grade labs featuring marble tops, blast chillers, and deck ovens.
We keep the vibe friendly and supportive, but we are strict on technique. You will walk away with recipe booklets, technical diagrams, and a team that is genuinely inspired to perform.
