Why do we eat what we eat, and why do we eat how we eat?
The culinary heritage is forged in existing natural resources, the agricultural practices that have been developed, and what existed in trading partners. It is an inexhaustible source of lessons about what foods to eat on each occasion, how to process
and combine them, and the social value of meals. These are the foundations on which the future of gastronomy is being built.

Avaliação | The course is composed by an online week and an in-person week. The online week will occur first and it is more centered in preparation, explanation and exposure of the major contents around this subject. During the in-person week, students will work in teams to complete a minor ethnological field study and collect materials concerning a delimited phenomenon of food culture (group assignment). Several field trips will provide opportunities to collect empirical data based on food, tradition, and innovation issues. Build on that and other previous experiences; students will develop and produce a product or a recipe; this can be, for example, a meaningful reinterpretation of a traditional food or recipe. They will present their research results and the developed food/recipe in speech and writing. Practical cooking and tasting sessions will occur during the final day of the course. The assessment is based on one group assignment presented in speech (25%) and writing (25%). Individual exams will be provided during the course (30%). Peer assessment will take place at the end of the final day of the course (20%). |
