2014 signals Apicius' 10th consecutive year at the James Beard Foundation. The collaboration between the institution and foundation began in 2005 with the first Flavors of Florence dinner presented by Apicius faculty members to the NYC audience.

Alumni Event

The anniversary event represents a special occasion for Apicius, and the institution will hold an event for alumni students who have graduated from its hospitality, culinary, wine, and pastry programs as well as from the TuttoToscana academic program. Fifty seats will be offered to the alumni groups from previous academic years. The event will be held on Sunday, October 26, when the Beard foundation will be opened exclusively for Apicius alumni. Invitations and reservations will be handled through the FUA Alumni Network throughout summer 2014.

Apicius-JBF History

The first Apicius dinner at the James Beard Foundation was presented in 2005. From 2005 to 2009, the faculty team developed various interpretations of the featured menus that eventually expanded from the specific city of Florence to the entire Tuscan region. In 2010, the academic program TuttoToscana was created in order to open up an academic experience in Florence combined with a capstone week of real events in NYC. The events feature diverse locations in the NY-JC area and culminate in the JBF dinner event attended by foundation members and the general public.

TuttoToscana - Program and Scholarship

The TuttoToscana academic program is open to individuals who wish to gain real-world and professionalizing experiences in special event management and production. It can be taken for 4 weeks (3 weeks in Florence + 1 week in NYC) or as a 1-week NYC-only option. To learn more visit the program page. Potential students may apply for a partial scholarship valid for the full 4-week program, for more information please contact .
