History of Worlds of Flavor

The Culinary Institute of America’s at Copia, the site for Worlds of Flavor, is the ultimate Napa Valley destination for exploring, experiencing, and enjoying the world of food, wine, and community.

In order to stage programs like this, we depend on the support of organizations that recognize the value of these activities for the advancement of our industry.

Those of you who know the area might know of one of my hero restaurants - the like-minded Itanoni in Oaxaca City - surely they all travel in the same circles.”

A Culinary Journey Through Oaxaca, Mexico

In this book and its companion PBS series, Susana shares her deep passion and anthropologic knowledge of this fascinating region whose cuisine remains virtually untouched by influences from the outside world.

The Culinary Institute of America has a long-standing commitment to healthy cooking initiatives and the integration of healthy, world flavors in the future of American menu research and development. Early in her career, she worked as a sous chef at Sweetish Hill and Fonda San Miguel in Austin, Texas.

During the 1980s, Susana was the chef-owner of two New York City restaurants, Rick’s Lounge and Bon Temps Rouler, while also running her catering business, Seasons of My Heart.

Her Tex-Mex food was based on the most incredibly chewy flour tortillas, crispy corn chalupa shells stuffed with pinto beans, and exceptional hot tamales.
