Culinary Arts Instructor Danny Capadouca

I have been working in the hospitality industry for 27 years, having graduated from Vancouver Community College in 2001. I started my apprenticeship in Vitre, France in the Brittany Region then continued it in Vancouver, B.C., at the Westin Bayshore hotel. I have competed in many competitions winning multiple awards including the Grand Gold Award at the Salon du Chocolat in 2005. I then moved on to work at Chocolate Arts to learn more about chocolate. Returning back to France, I attended a short Pastry Class at the Paul Bocuse Institut in Lyon. I moved to the мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ in 2007. Having worked for some of the best restaurants and hotels in the valley, I became the Pastry Arts instructor at мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ College in 2014. In 2016, I developed an exclusive chocolate line for мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ College at the Cacao Barry, Or Noir Lab in Meulan, France, becoming the third learning institution in the world, the first in North America to have their own exclusive chocolate line.
