Italian Culinary Foundation,Bringing America authentic, contemporary Italian cuisine

Our Culinary Programs

The “Italian Chef Program”, was offered to 10 U.S. culinary schools with the overall theme:  The Cuisine is Italian, the Products are Regional. 

The objective of this year’s curriculum focused on Italian Cuisine today emphasizing that it is no longer tied to regionality.  There is one cuisine simply called Italian, a cuisine which is comprised of regional ingredients.
