Culinary Chronicles

Calling all foodies! Do you love to cook, try new foods, and explore the stories behind what we eat? This Winterim invites students to step into the exciting world of food—learning not only how to prepare delicious dishes, but also how food businesses run and how culinary traditions shape culture

Over the week, students will roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, making dumplings and even cooking on a food truck for the Dawson community. We’ll meet professionals across the food industry, from restaurateurs to factory workers, and see what it takes to bring food from farm to table. Highlights include touring a pasta factory, exploring the iconic Celestial Seasonings plant, experiencing a traditional tea ceremony on Pearl Street, and sampling gourmet chocolates. Students will also learn the craft of food reviewing, practicing their own critique after dining at a local restaurant.

No matter your dietary needs, this program is designed to be inclusive and delicious—every student is welcome!
