Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Austin

Texas Culinary Academy in Austin is an outgrowth of a chef-apprenticeship program organized in Austin, Texas by Ronald F. Boston back in 1981. The school began as the Le Chef College of Hospitality Careers before eventually being renamed Texas Culinary Academy in 1999. Texas Culinary Academy maintains a commitment to quality instruction, facilities, and student development that separates us from other cooking schools.


Each student receives a comprehensive, challenging education in classic culinary techniques combined with modern innovations and the latest in global cuisine. They learn through demonstration by chef instructors followed by hands-on, practical application. Curriculum includes important theoretical concepts and industry-relevant general education courses. Students also benefit from smaller class size in a creative, supportive community.
