A message from Mason:

Hello,

I have an incredible opportunity to take my culinary education to the next level by studying abroad in Florence, Italy. As a passionate culinary student, this experience will allow me to immerse myself in Italy’s rich food culture, learn from master chefs, and refine my skills in one of the world’s most renowned culinary destinations. This program is more than just a trip to me, it’s a chance to expand my knowledge of traditional Italian cooking techniques, regional ingredients, and the artistry behind one of the most celebrated cultures/cuisines in the world. I’ll attend hands-on workshops, visit historic food markets, and gain real-world experience that will shape my future as one of America's next top chefs.
