“We went to Italy, Spain and France. It was a life-changing experience. We spent two and a half weeks trying different foods. It’s one thing making them in class, but it’s another thing being in that country, immersed in that culture, and trying the foods that they make there.”
- Mary Ann Koller, Culinary Arts, Baking and Pastry Arts
