Program Description:

Cultures have flavors and through them, we can recognize the passing of time, the present and modern age. The Peruvian gastronomy has a great quality, it is diverse and it is one of the most intelligent cultural creations of our country and the Latin American region. The Peruvian Gastronomy is the convergence of different beliefs and a rich, extraordinary, and natural variety of food. This program is aimed at letting students understand the connections between nature, culture, history and gastronomy. Our program gives students the opportunity to create, cook and eat as a cultural, economic and social act.

It will make the students live the Peruvian Gastronomy as a process that involves the human being in connection with its ancestral knowledge and with nature. The program offers not only a learning experience, but also an in-depth understanding of gastronomy as an expression of the Peruvians’ view of the world.
