Cooking Programs Abroad

Thailand. Your local takeout pad thai has nothing on the fresh flavors you’ll experience when you head to the Land of Smiles. Get ready for juicy limes, piquant chillies, and more versatility with rice than you could imagine. Cooking adventure travel here often includes a stroll through local markets to pick up fresh ingredients you’ll be cooking with later on in the day.

France. France is culinary heaven whether you’re looking for savory entrees or sweet pastry delights. Join a baking class to perfect your skills and feast on macarons, croissants, and all the choux buns you can get your hands on. You can also enroll in more intensive cooking adventure tours if you’re an amateur looking to go pro.

Costa Rica. There are many reasons to visit lush Costa Rica, two of them being staple foods throughout the world’s history: coffee and chocolate. By visiting Costa Rica, you have the added bonus of being right at the source of these rainforest delights. Cooking adventures here will help you elevate your palate and discover the unique, bold flavors of each new bean!

My Adventure Tour to Thailand was filled with some of the richest and best memories I will ever make. I got to meet so many amazing people, both locals and friends I made on the tour. When I try and decide a favorite part, it's always impossible. From the time at the school, volunteer work with the elephants, visiting the temples, exploration of the islands, and so much more, each time a moment of the trip pops into my head, it brings a smile to my face. TFT staff did an exceptional job organizing the itinerary and engaging with the students, helping to create a fulfilling trip that will no doubt stay with me forever.

such a gratifying experience!
