Taste your way through the world
You get to cook from all over the world — from street food to gourmet, and test dishes from Asia, South America, the Middle East and more. This gives you broad taste skills and develops your creativity in the kitchen.
Japanese food culture in practice
You'll get an introduction to Japanese food culture in Tokyo with sushi, ramen, tempura and wagashi (traditional sweets), as well as Kyoto, where you can experience tea-ceremony and kaiseki meals. This journey gives you both technique and cultural insight.

Food culture and presentation
You learn about presentation and plating, how the food should look aesthetically and what techniques make the meal an experience. This strengthens your visual expression and creative skills.
Sustainability and commodity understanding
The course focuses on seasonal produce, local food and food waste reduction, and you learn how good produce makes for better dining experiences. This also gives you awareness of sustainable cooking.
Vegetarian and vegan options
You will gain experience with plant-based dishes such as lentil pots, plant burgers and vegetable focus, because the line includes options for various dietary needs. This gives you broad expertise in modern cooking.
