Introducing Culture to Cuisine—a new global cooking experience from WorldDenver and Stir Cooking School! This hands-on event series explores international flavors, culinary techniques, and the cultural stories behind each dish.

Start the evening with a cocktail and networking over light bites, then, rotate through three interactive cooking stations—learn new techniques and enjoy the small plates you create along the way.

Join us on Thursday, August 7, 2025, for the launch of this new series featuring a Japanese cooking experience and cultural insights from Japanese-American writer, speaker, and Westword Food Editor, Gil Asakawa.
