Ready to jump into a Culinary Institute of America kitchen? Grab three food-loving friends and get set for a weekend of great food and fun in the Hudson Valley. You and your brigade will feel the heat in one of the CIA's hands-on cooking classes taught by a world-class chef. With a full menu of course options from Mediterranean Cuisine to Artisan Breads, you can choose the class that most suits your taste.

No need to cook and run. Stay the weekend at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Poughkeepsie with two two-person rooms for two nights. Located minutes from the CIA's Hyde Park campus, it'll be easy as pie to get to and from your class as well as the other historic, cultural, and natural sites and activities located in our backyard.

So, what do you say to two nights of treating yourself and your tastebuds? "Yes, Chef!"
