Centenary Announces New Food History Course

Centenary officially announced a new World History of Cuisine (HIS-3030) course, available for 4-credits in Fall 2026.

The course will explore how recipes have changed over centuries of migration and been shaped by world cultures. Each class will begin with taste testing food from different regions of the world. 

“Food is vastly important to cultures around the world,” said President John Schol. “Having a course in food history can give students a new appreciation for dining, cuisine, and history.”

For the final project, students will present on the history of a centuries-old recipe and bring in samples for attendees to enjoy in a showcase event in Taylor Memorial Library. 

According to the administration, they are actively searching for a professor to teach the course. 

Keep an eye out when registering for classes for this exciting, new course. Come to class hungry for both food and knowledge.
