Ciencia de las Técnicas Culinarias
La Cocina tiene por base sus técnicas. Estas han evolucionado con el pasar de los años y cada vez nos sorprenden por sus resultados. Hoy en dia, el enfoque del cocinero es poder entregar lo mejor de su experiencia realizando platos que sorprendan al comensal y logren resultados aptos para todo tipo de personas, comprendiendo alergias alimentarias, estilos de alimentación, cocina saludable y la búsqueda de ingredientes alternativos que nos permitan excelentes resultados. El uso de aditivos y texturizantes lo debemos ver como un excelente apoyo, y el conocimiento científico detrás de cada uno nos dará confianza y seguridad en la cocina.

Sabemos que existe la Cocina Molecular que deriva a Cocina de Vanguardia. Esta es atractiva para muchos cocineros, pero el material o cursos disponibles se enfocan en las recetas y suelen quedar dudas sobretodo en el uso y compatibilidad de los ingredientes y texturizantes. Mi intención es poder explicarte todo y mas con ejemplos, recetas, experimentos y fundamentos para que puedas dominar este tipo de técnicas.
Mi nombre es Heinz Wuth, Cocinero y apasionado por las Ciencias Gastronómicas, llevo mas de 18 años trabajando, aplicando y educando a cocineros con el apoyo de la Ciencia, y quiero invitarte a este curso teórico y practico.
Utilizaremos las técnicas esenciales dentro de la vanguardia culinaria, veremos los ingredientes, su compatibilidad, análisis y fundamentos científicos. Todo acompañado con un completo Dossier Teórico con información esencial y recetas probadas en cada caso. El contenido del curso se irá actualizando constantemente para los estudiantes con nuevo material, técnicas y recetas.
Este es un curso muy recomendado para todo profesional y estudiante gastronómico, aficionados a la cocina y profesionales de area de salud y nutrición para conocer las diversas técnicas adaptables a alimentación de pacientes.
Además, el curso tiene el respaldo y certificado de Science&Cooking World Congress, una organización que une a Científicos y Cocineros con el fin de divulgar las ciencias en beneficio de la Gastronomía. ¡Es un curso único.
¡Espero que te motives y Enhorabuena por tus deseos de aprender.
