World Cooking Committee

The World Cooking Workshop Committee provides opportunities to deepen international mutual understanding through the food cultures of various countries around the world. We hold cooking classes two to three times a year under the theme “Introducing World Culinary Cultures.” Each session begins with the instructor introducing their home country, followed by a cooking demonstration. Participants then engage in hands-on practice and enjoy tasting the dishes.

In recent years, we have introduced a wide variety of seasonal dishes from countries such as Egypt, the West Indies, the Philippines, Taiwan, Mexico, and Italy. It is always exciting to learn about unfamiliar ingredients and cooking methods, and to make new discoveries through conversations with the instructors. Through food culture, participants can learn about many aspects of people’s lives, cultures, and histories around the world.

We warmly welcome not only those who love cooking, but also anyone who wishes to learn more about different countries through their culinary traditions.
