Cuisine & Culture of Northern Europe

March 13-21, 2010

Join us on a journey exploring the flavors and traditions of Northern Europe by traveling to Belgium and Luxembourg. This cross-disciplinary course is intended to expose you to the wonders of Northern European hospitality. During our journey, we will visit a WWI museum, a culinary school in Luxembourg, and tour the St. Lambert Crystal Factory in Liege. We will also learn about the making of cheese, wine, and beer — some of the staples of Northern European cuisine. Culturally, we will have guided tours in the cities of Brugges, Brussels, and Luxembourg. On-campus classes during the semester will be used to supplement and prepare you for the journey.
