Internationally inspired dishes and a pastry pavilion filled with a myriad of confections are among the tastes offered, according to chef Jesse Sanchez, a culinary instructor at Mission College. Admission is $65.
This year, the selections offered at the festival will be inspired by the students’ preferences, Sanchez said.
“What’s inspiring the students this year is their own global melting pot and the foods they love or even grew up with,” Sanchez said. “Los Angeles is a cultural center of the universe,and this will be reflected in the kinds of dishes created for this year’s Springfest Cuisines of the World.”
