Global Chefs Dinner program

This is a PRIVATE CCIS and Bechtel International Center event open to all Stanford international graduate students, postdocs, visiting scholars, and their families, and local CCIS members.

Global Chefs participants prepare a dinner that is served to the chefs and the first 45 people who sign up to attend. The dinner is FREE. In the past we have prepared cuisines from 14 different countries with the help of chefs across 16 different languages.

Global Chefs is a joint program of the Community Committee for International Students and the Bechtel International Center. Special thanks for the support provided by the Billie Achilles Fund.

For Internationals and CCIS Volunteers - Dinner preparation

Come and join the team of internationals and local CCIS members as we prepare a delicious meal together. Enjoy the fun as team members share recipes and cooking techniques, make new friends, and chat about food and family in a lively and engaging setting.

Parents: It's okay for the chefs to bring in their kids - as long as the children are closely monitored around tools and heating appliances.
