The elite of the cuisine

-


The Basque Culinary Centre integrates a Faculty of Gastronomic Sciences located in Donostia-San Sebastian attached to University of Mondragon and a Research and Innovation Centre in Food and Gastronomy. It is a pioneer centre that opened its classrooms in 2011.

 


The start-up of this culinary project started from several objectives. The first is the need to develop the potential of cuisine as a sector of innovation in the future, which also implies the generation of high-level knowledge and the training of qualified professionals. The second one would be the challenge of promoting research and the transfer of knowledge between professionals in the gastronomy and the business sectors. And third, to achieve an international projection.









The academic centre, which imparts university studies for the youngest of the Degree in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts in order to generate high level knowledge and train qualified professionals, it’s constituted as the second gastronomy university of all Europe.

 



In Spain until the launch of this project, there was no formal educational offer at the university in the field of gastronomy. Thus, they thought it was a unique idea and an incredible challenge for business from a professional point of view. 





In Basque Culinary Centre the students spend most of their time in workshops where they learn by doing, working in the faculty restaurants developing their capacities in a real work environment and participating in activities where they create and manage their own gastronomic events.

So…why to Study in The Basque Country and especially in the BCC?
Because in Donostia-San Sebastian as in the rest of Basque Country, the gastronomy is a part of the society and the good taste is present at any event and celebration.  


And because four of the nine restaurants with three Michelin stars in Spain are in the Basque Country, and three of them just in Donostia-San Sebastian.



In the next post I’ll talk about them, so stay tuned for more! 
Thank yoouuu guys!!!! :)

Hi everyone! Today I’m going to talk about one of the strongest point of my city without a doubt; of its incredible, luxurious and prestigious restaurants in the whole world. I hope you enjoy it and learn something more about my culture!! First of all, I’m going to explain a bit what the Michelin stars are and what it means to have one of them. Michelin stars are today one of the most reliable ways to value the quality of a restaurant. Despite having many detractors, among all the prizes that are awarded in the world of high cuisine, it remains the most reliable and recognized world-wide scale. The Michelin tyre brand devised this system back in 1926, when it decided to make a list of the best restaurants in the world as with one, two or three stars depending on the quality of their cuisine. Michelin has several critics scattered around the world who are visiting and testing the restaurants they believe are at the highest level at every moment. The Basque ...

Therefore, I invite you to when you visit the Basque Country try these incredible wonders!!! In order to facilitate your visit, I will indicate the most suitable restaurant to taste these dishes. The beans from Tolosa They are usually eaten with cabbage, black pudding and chili peppers from Ibarra. The identification of the term 'Tolosa' does not come because its production is carried out exclusively in Tolosa and its region, but by the tradition of the market that is celebrated in that town since 1256.   Therefore, the best place to eat these beans is in Tolosa, and I’d recommend you the Fronton restaurant in Tolosa as they were the first to include the beans as a specialty of the menu to offer them throughout the year.    Marmitako It c onsists in a stew, usually of albacore of the north or ...
