The goal of the forum is to establish Maine as the center of culinary excellence in our society. The forum has been created to educate, train, and expand these arts to professionals and lay people alike.

Although there is a vast interest, there are few existing options where individuals can learn, share and practice their knowledge, while establishing significant contacts. The New England Culinary Arts Forum brings together the nation's top culinary talent along with our members for classes and sessions from basic knife techniques to impressive wine discernment, from simple table settings to the most formal etiquette. This creates a natural sharing of knowledge and creativity that is very appealing.
