THE CULINARY DIPLOMACY PROJECT
Micheline is the Partnership Advisor for The Culinary Diplomacy Project. CDP is a chef-driven nonprofit organization that sends prominent chefs to destinations around the world as representatives of American culture and cuisine. We use food, the great common denominator, to connect and learn about the people we are visiting, while also sharing our own culture. Following each international trip, the chefs engage with American audiences by participating in events around the country designed to share their experiences.
