Our culinary events have been promoted under titles like: “Foods of Provence and Capri,” “Real Neapolitan cuisine,” “Greek-Romanian cuisine,” and “European Chocolate Fest,” and have been greatly enjoyed by our students.
The highlight of these gatherings is the occasion to taste freshly-baked organic foods, mostly recipes from Italy and France, and to share impressions about the countries students have visited or wish to visit, as well as about our travel experiences.

“I am very pleased to write in behalf of Ms. Gabrielle Anderson. It was a great privilege to be of some help to Ms. Anderson’s gifted and hardworking traits as a multitalented artist with potentials to do great things. She was helpful and a great addition to the class. I wholeheartedly recommend her for consideration on her creative position.”
