DURHAM, N.H. – Students studying advanced food and beverage at the University of New Hampshire will host a gourmet dining series Nov. 18-20, 2016, at the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics.

This semester’s dining series, “Wanderlust-A Passport to International Cuisine,” features a five-course prix fixe menu inspired by signature dishes from countries around the world. Dishes from Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States will be featured.

As part of the hospitality management major capstone project, students are positioned as managers and directors for planning, coordinating and managing this restaurant style event. The capstone combines the skills and knowledge learned in the classroom with hands-on experience gained through internships and jobs in the hospitality industry. The coursework and work experience is then translated and applied to the gourmet meals to create an exquisite dining experience.

“Recently, the class has taken on new challenges and expanded their horizons through the use of cutting-edge technology and table delivery methods,” said Daniel Remar, assistant professor of hospitality management, who teaches this course. “This has added a unique dynamic to the student experience.”
