Consistently voted one of the top ten places in the world to live, Asheville boasts more than 140 specialty restaurants, myriad farmers' markets, and a burgeoning art scene to rival any in New York or Paris, without the traffic challenges. At 3000 feet, surrounded by the spectacular Blue Ridge, it is cool in summer, wonderful in winter, and at all times an amazing place to visit.
In two intensive weeks with over 30 top chefs and experts, plus a bridge session in between, you will navigate all the essential ingredients of culinary expertise at a fraction of the price required to attend a 2-year culinary institute.
You may choose between our two theme weeks: Turning a Basket into a Banquet (focused on transforming the ingredients you would find in a surprise CSA market purchase) or Cooking for Vibrant Health (addressing cooking for specific health concerns, whether they be yours or your loved ones'), or you may indulge in the ultimate experience of attending both weeks. As an exceptional added bonus, you have the option of joining us for our bridge session on July 17th, including a tour of the Biltmore Winery and gardens, and a special luncheon in the winery's bistro.
