When you think of your typical science class, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind are chemical experiments, labs equipped with beakers and Bunsen burners, students in coats in goggles. What you may not think of is the science class that juniors Evan Van Duffelen ‘23 (left) and his roommate, Justin Webster ‘23 (right) enrolled in for their semester in Florence titled: “A Balanced Nutritional Experience: Italian Style Cooking”, where they’ve traded in lab coats for aprons.

“We get to wear a full chef's uniform with the hat, the apron, and a nice white shirt with the buttons. And the stuff we've been making has been amazing - everything is so good. I think [during] the first week, we made stuff with eggplants and I'm not the biggest eggplant fan, [but] it was one of the best meals I've had. I think it’s just opened my eyes to different foods that I feel like I'm not the biggest fan of, but I’ve eaten everything.” JW ‘23

From trying new foods that they’ve never experienced to creating spaghetti from scratch, the duo are more than equipped with knowledge of local foods to bring back home with them when the time comes.

“All of the [dishes] incorporate some type of ingredients that are very popular here from areas close [by]. We've been prepping new dishes every week, so I definitely want to do more of that [and] show my family some of the stuff that I’ve learned through that class.” EVD ‘23
