Please join us for the Global Kitchen Lecture Series on Tuesday, Mar. 6 in the Campus Center (Building 1C) Green Dolphin Lounge from 2:30pm to 4:30pm.
The Global Kitchen Lecture Series is back. Travel just about anywhere on Earth, and you are likely to encounter sweets with local variations. So travel with us as we journey this semester around the world through candies and chocolates.
Come learn about the particular regional ingredients used and taste samples of candies and chocolates from South Africa, Indonesia, Korea, China, Japan, Ukraine, Italy, Greece, Spain, Poland. Israel, Colombia, Mexico, and Canada.
“Is Chocolate Good for Your Health or Bad?”
Haven’t we all wondered about that? Come learn about it from Professor Grozdena Yilmaz of the Department of Biology.
“The Sweat of Their Brow’: Sugar and Cocoa Workers in Latin America and the Caribbean.”
Do you know the real deal of how sugar and cocoa are produced? Come learn about it from Professor Kimball of the Department of History.

The book is titled An Open Secret: The History of Unwanted Pregnancy and Abortion in Modern Bolivia and is under contract with Rutgers University Press.
