Description: The 21st century is primarily defined by a greater interlacing of cultures; its diversity has led to many new collaborative initiatives, nevertheless the historically high immigration levels have raised social, cultural and economic anxieties internationally. Consequently as members of a diverse learning institution such as Rice we must work to embrace our cultures and learn of others’. In our modern and ever diversifying world, this course will seek to answer through a study of international cuisine, how our cultures have come to shape the culinary arts and what these influences reveal about our cultures? In A Taste of the World: International Cuisine students will work in collaborative baking and research projects to learn about the influence of culture on varying culinary styles. With no exams in this course, students will participate in in-class collaborative projects, discussions, and complete an individual final project on a culture of choice (one not covered in class).
