Culinary Communion

Drawing maps of our future travels
On napkins before the breakfast comes
Remembering scraps of language
Drinking coffee, Bloody Marys, orange juice, and water
Oops—
I wipe my mouth with the Mediterranean.

This is my third big trip with Culinary Communion and I can't wait for the next one!

Culinary Travel

After nearly six years of meeting incredible people and sharing our love of food, Culinary Communion is now taking students to the places we talk about! We get down in it, meet the chefs, cook and eat the food, and experience the real "foodie" aspects of wherever we are. Our Culinary Travel is for the passionate food lover who doesn't want to just read about it or even just eat at the restaurant—our guests are cooks who wants to get their hands dirty and eat and drink together. Join us!
