The Florence Food and Culture Experience

Are you passionate about food? Do you like to travel? This is the program for you. Spend 3 weeks in Florence, the Reneisance center of Italy and enjoy testy and delisiou food.

The city of Florence is a veritable mine of food and cultural experiences spanning from the kitchens of the Medici family, to the rustic regional cuisine of Tuscany, to growing rituals such as aperitivo, and high profile restaurants recognized internationally.

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the food, street, and culture scenes that set Florence apart from other metropolitan cities, encourage the discussion of the historical weight of its storied past on the food culture of today, and construct a topographical map that indicates the pinpoints of Florence's thriving gastro-cultural activities.

Lectures will be complemented by student cooking labs and tastings.
