Superior Course in Spanish Gastronomy and Culture

Classroom-based education

Spanish gastronomy, one of the most recognised gastronomies worldwide, has its roots engraved in the history and tradition of our country and the way it was enriched by a great variety of cultures, landscapes, the clime and customs and traditions. Although, throughout many years it was unknown in Europe being only by the end of the XIX century when it gains a national identity based on a variety of dishes, the way of presenting them, the different culinary techniques and in the many products it uses. That is why the Spanish cuisine is known as “Las cocinas de España”

Based on an insightful study of the elements that unify these cuisines, ESHS, takes on the labour of spreading Spanish gastronomy and culture through a formative program in which culinary techniques, investigation and the knowledge of the Spanish gastronomic traditions will be the base of the theoretical-practical training.
