The Coffee roastery we visited was Caffe River. This was the first Coffee roastery I have ever visited. This coffee roastery was a smaller family run roastery. Immediately at Caffe River we each got to sample one of their expressos made from their K80 coffee blend. The expresso tasted stronger than the typical coffee I … Continue reading “Coffee Roastery”
One of my favorite culinary experiences was hand making pasta with the Italian family in the restaurant. I enjoyed learning how to create pasta from scratch. This activity was a nice stress relief from studying organic chemistry. I also enjoyed getting to eat the pasta we created as a group. I did not realize how simple … Continue reading “Culinary Reflection”
My favorite tasting/tour we have done so far has definitely been at the coffee roastery. I am the type of person who goes and gets their Starbucks coffee everyday fully knowing I am not drinking quality and paying a lot for it, and I am fine with that. However, after going to the coffee roastery and learning … Continue reading “Coffee Roastery”
Throughout this class I have tried coffees, honeys, olive oils, and wines that I probably would have never had if it was not for this experience. Through the tastings and class I have learned that food and drinks are much more than just something we eat when were hungry. There are so many complexities that come … Continue reading “Culinary Reflection- simply a reflection of culinary”

La Buccianera Winery is beautiful. This is the first winery I have ever visited. Seeing the actual place where the wine is created helped me connect what we are learning in the classroom and apply that knowledge to the real world. The wine at this winery is fermented in stainless steel containers where the temperature … Continue reading “La Buccianera Winery”
La Buccianera Winery was the first winery I had ever been to. My mom had been to some wineries in California and told me about them but I really only had ideas of what it would be like. Walking into the vineyard was unreal, the thousands of rows of vines were unlike anything I had … Continue reading “Winery”
When arriving in Rome I had no idea what to expect. I have never been outside of the country other than Jamaica and various places in Mexico so not much to my surprise I was completely lost in a new culture upon arrival in Rome. While the language and demeanor of people was obviously different … Continue reading “Roma”
When in Rome I walked over 35 miles, I definitely roamed all over in Rome in a few days. This being my second time in Rome, I wanted to completely live in the moment and completely immerse myself in the Roman culture. I wanted to truly experience Rome and take in all that Rome had … Continue reading “Journal: Rome”
