History

Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts was founded in 2011 when it acquired the former Culinary School of the Rockies in Boulder, Colorado. Shortly after that merger, the school purchased an additional campus in Austin, Texas. The school is named after Auguste Escoffier, the renowned French chef who is hailed as the father of modern cuisine and known for creating the kitchen brigade system, menu and the mother sauces. The school has a focus on classic French culinary techniques and is strongly affiliated with the Auguste Escoffier Foundation, Le Musee Escoffier de l'Art Culinaire and Michel Escoffier, the great grandson of the well-known chef and a member of the parent corporation's advisory board.
