Pack your appetite—we’re off to explore traditional foods, cooking techniques, and customs from around the world.
In this workshop, you’ll travel the world. But you won’t need a passport—just a taste for adventure, a dash of curiosity, and an apron. Each day, you’ll cook a new dish inspired by a different region while building essential kitchen skills, from knife techniques and kitchen safety to preparing, seasoning, and tasting your food. Along the way, you’ll discover the history, geography, and customs behind the cuisines you’re exploring, and sharpen your palate as you taste, adjust, and experiment with new flavors. Then, put everything you’ve learned to the test in a final global fusion challenge, where you’ll combine techniques and flavors from around the world to create something entirely your own.
Please note: Students with food allergies or sensitivities should contact our Admission Office for more details before enrolling in this course. This course may not be appropriate for students with specific dietary restrictions.
