International

Our international classes are geared towards teaching time honored techniques and recipes that are true to the area being explored. You'll learn how foods are prepared in the country of origin, be exposed to ingredients specific to those countries and learn where to shop for what you'll need to recreate each dish.

There is no better way to travel than to experience a culture through its food. Rich, inviting, complex and exciting, the world of international cuisine will expand your knowledge not only of food but also of the people and country you chose to experience.
