The history, cultures, and regions of the eastern world come together in this gastronomic tour of Asia, home of some of the world’s most diverse, exotic cuisines. You’ll embark on a fascinating culinary journey blending traditional and contemporary aspects of Asian cooking.

During each intensive day, you’ll experience the cuisines of different Asian countries—from India, China, and Japan to Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. You’ll soon become familiar with the common bonds these cuisines share as well as the ingredients, flavor profiles, and cooking techniques that make each one distinct.

You’ll get immersed in the flavors and culinary traditions of Asia, and get a taste of the CIA experience:

• View a sushi demo and participate in sushi tastings.
  
• Participate in a tasting of Asian beverages.
  
• Learn the differences between authentic and adapted Asian dishes.
