Welcome to the Haas Culinary Club!

Northern California has often been justifiably called "a foodie's mecca". The area that gave birth to California cooking is definitely blessed with the proximity to artisanal products and abundance of fresh ingredients: the perfect setting for an educational and delicious two years at Haas.

The Haas Culinary Club is the fruit (pun intended!) of Haas students who are passionate about food and sharing it with others. We proudly live to eat and believe that good food is inseparable from good living. We often eat to celebrate - it is about time we celebrate eating. The club is a place for Haas students to talk, share, learn and reflect. Our dinner parties will nourish you through the food and the company. Our events are also fun!. Our restaurant outings will appeal to the gourmet, the artist and the critic in you. If you live to eat, you are definitely not alone. If you eat to live, find out what you've been missing.

It costs $30 to join for 1 year and $50 for 2 years. It's great value - members get a $10 rebate for every restaurant of the month event they attend, and cooking events are free for members. Join now for 1 year and your membership will be valid till May 2010.

Your leaders for 2009,

Jenny Hsieh, Stefan Jacob, Sara Nelson and Laurie Reemeyer
