Steve Le Corre
Tutor - Cookery and Hospitality
Steve is the captain of the New Zealand
culinary team which competes internationally.
Steve proves the benefits of a wide range
of experience. A native of Jersey, he did his training with the
world-recognised City & Guilds qualifications, completing his
advanced training in pastry.
Steve has worked across the world, from
five-star hotels in Bermuda to quality restaurants in London. He
became executive chef with the Auckland City Life Hotel, part of
the Heritage Group before changing career direction and joining
Aoraki Polytechnic as Cookery tutor and team leader for
Hospitality.
More recently, in 2009, Steve was a
member of the New Zealand team that achieved the first prize at the
international Battle of the Dragon competition held in Wales, the
equivalent of a culinary Olympics.
While competition keeps him in touch with
the industry and the ever developing standards required, teaching
is his niche.
