Lots were attributed under the sponsorship of Winemakers present at the Cocktail, Odalys, Gastronomicom and Mrs Christine Morazin who all had generously decided to support the Event. Mrs Lessault "opened the ball" and introduced Gastronomicom to the numerous guests, its philosophy, evolution since the opening of the Academy 6 years ago and listed the more than 40 nationalities that went through its various programs.

A cocktail is organised for the students who are leaving for their internship or definitly after the completion of their training. They are in charge for the baking of the various salty and sweet canapés with a simple directive: To Create their own canapés, respecting a recipe and/or flavour from their country of origin and using techniques learnt at Gastronomicom, therefore giving us the opportunity to see and taste what they are capable of doing after their intensive training with us. And the result was spectacular!!!
      All of Gastronomicom's students got their efforts greeted with a Certificate. They also had a surprise for each teacher who were given a gift and a thank you card signed by each and everyone of them. It was a very emotional moment and teachers let Florent Cantaut, Pastry Teacher and Development Manager at Gastronomicom, talk on their behalf to thank the students for this warm and generous gesture. The ceremony ended up with the group photo but the evening continued well into the night and students put on their best clothes ....very neat !!
