When you first dreamt about studying to be a chef, you probably pictured yourself learning how to make Boeuf Bourguignon in France or mastering the art of homemade pasta in Italy.  Or, maybe you imagined yourself taking on heat and spice in the Caribbean.  Those dreams are not as far from reality as you might think.  Study abroad programs in the culinary arts are offered all around the world – and if this is your field, applying should be a no brainer.  After all, studying abroad is all about culture… and what is more important to culture than food? 

Local cultures have a passion for their own foods and flavors that cannot be found anywhere else.  As an aspiring chef, it is important for you to learn as much about the flavors that inspire that passion as possible.  By studying abroad in Italy, for instance, you can buy produce from a nearby farmers market and taste first-hand the difference between a tomato grown in Italy and a tomato produced in California.  You can have fun immersing yourself in the culture while at the same time expanding your culinary knowledge.  Most importantly, you can learn to love the ingredients the way the locals do, and that love can translate into the dishes you make.
