Be a VIP at the Culinary Institute of America

Take a cooking class at the Culinary Institute of America then indulge in a special dinner at one of the school’s top-rated restaurants. Founded in 1946 to offer vocational training for returning World War II soldiers, the institute was the first college in the United States to teach culinary arts. It is now the largest, with four American campuses and one in Singapore, a diverse student body representing 30 nationalities and the largest staff of certified master chefs by the American Culinary Federation. Spend a day improving your cooking skills, then enjoy the creative cuisine presented by the institute’s talented students.
