At the Culinary Institute of America, Napa Valley

I was invited to the Worlds of Flavor 2012 International Conference & Festival, with the theme of Arc of Flavors: Re-imagining Culinary Exchange, from the Mediterranean and Middle East to Asia. The event was celebrated by exploring the movement of ingredients, dishes, techniques, and flavors from the first days of trade to today’s fast-changing global palate. Chefs from all over the world were present along with me. The Culinary Institute of America’s annual three day forum is one of the most influential professional forum on world cuisines, food cultures and flavour trends.
