Each day begins with a little context: Where does this food come from? When do people eat it? Why is it special? From bustling piazzas to Parisian boulangeries\, campers explore how food connects people\, places\, and memories. \nSchedule will be shortened to 4 Days for these two sessions. \nWhen: June 29 – July 3 (There is no class on July 1st\, 2026) \nWEEK 1TOUR OF ITALY \nDAY 1Sicilian Inspired Cupcakes 🍋Bake and decorate bright cirtrus-inspired cupcakes inspired by Italy’s sunny coastline. \nDAY 2🍕 Neapolitan Pizza Fest -FocacciaStretch dough\, choose toppings\, and bake individual sweet and savoury pizzas and make colourful garden themed focaccias. \nDAY 3🍝 Fresh Pasta Lab Roll\, cut\, and shape fresh pasta by hand using traditional techniques.
