NECC Lupoli Family Institute of Culinary Arts
High above the busy streets of downtown Haverhill, there’s a hustle and bustle with a rhythm all its own. Mixers whir, knives slice and dice, and timers sound, all while the Merrimack River flows coolly by.
The product of a long-simmering idea to grow a culinary program at the college, the Lupoli Family Institute of Culinary Arts at Northern Essex opened in 2020 and is now offering up a full slate of credit and non-credit classes.
The institute occupies two floors in The Heights, a newly built ten-story luxury building on Merrimack Street. The space includes classrooms, laboratories, and state-of-the-art kitchens—as well as breathtaking views of the river.

A Taste of NECC
We are collaborating with our friends at HC Media to produce Taste of NECC, a cooking show featuring Chef Denis Boucher and his talented staff sharing recipes and techniques.
The goal is to spotlight the talent we have and give you some helpful tips that you can use to impress family and friends. These segments are all under 10 minutes.
