About Us

World Cuisine Institute wants to share good food from across the world to the world (one person at a time).

There are so many great ingredients and tastes in the different cultures and countries. Our goal is to teach authentic local food cooking to people who want to learn about new cuisines and tastes, or to further their knowledge and understanding of the flavors, tastes and ingredients used in other lands. We hope that you enjoy this experience with us.

We are located in Castle Rock, Colorado and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
We are not in a rush. Our first goal is to do it well. Our next goal is to do it some more. We will keep you informed of our up and coming plans. Contact us at info@worldcuisineinstitute.com
