Calling all foodies! Do you love to cook, try new foods, and explore the stories behind what we eat? This Winterim invites students to step into the exciting world of food—learning not only how to prepare delicious dishes, but also how food businesses run and how culinary traditions shape culture
Over the week, students will roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, making dumplings and even cooking on a food truck for the Dawson community. We’ll meet professionals across the food industry, from restaurateurs to factory workers, and see what it takes to bring food from farm to table. Highlights include touring a pasta factory, exploring the iconic Celestial Seasonings plant, experiencing a traditional tea ceremony on Pearl Street, and sampling gourmet chocolates. Students will also learn the craft of food reviewing, practicing their own critique after dining at a local restaurant.
Day 1
Day 1
This morning, we did a workshop with a professional restaurant critic who told us all about what her work entails before leading us through some tasting and writing exercises. For lunch, we headed to Sherpa's Nepalese restaurant in Boulder where we tried practically everything on the menu! We ended the day at Piece, Love, and Chocolate on Pearl Street, where the owner told us about making the chocolates and running the business, and then we tried some of their specialty truffles for ourselves!

Day 2
We started the morning at Lightroot Farm, where we milked and brushed cows, steered a horse-drawn plough, collected eggs and snuggled chickens. In the afternoon, we went to a traditional tea ceremony at Ku Cha Tea House, where we learned about Chinese tea culture and tried a sampling of different teas. We ended the day on Pearl Street where we popped around to some local businesses.
