I found the Professional Certificate in Food Anthropology and Culinary History Reporting (Advanced) to be a really cool course that helped me learn a lot about the cultural context of food. I mean, who wouldn't want to explore the history of cuisine and how it shapes our identities? The course content was pretty interesting, with some awesome examples of how food can bring people together or create social boundaries. I picked up some useful skills in food writing and photography, which I've already started applying to my food blog. The course materials were mostly good, although some of the readings could've been more concise. Still, I had a great time learning and would definitely recommend this course to fellow foodies.
