From April 28 to May 1, the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) brought together the best of the culinary world at the Gastromonde International Congress 🌎👩‍🍳👨‍🍳. Our PREIT-tour researcher, Maricruz Iñiguez, was there sharing and learning alongside world-class chefs 🎓🔍.


What went down at Gastromonde?


  • High-flying masterclasses 🚀: national and international guests showcased cutting-edge techniques, creative uses of local ingredients, and planet-friendly cooking methods 🌱♻️.

  • Conscious cooking 💚🥕: we learned how to use every part of our ingredients to cut waste and pack our dishes with flavor and nutrition.

  • 100% interdisciplinary 🔬🎨🎶: gastronomy blended with biology, nutrition, art, food engineering, tourism, communication, anthropology, linguistics—even psychology. A true knowledge fest!





Through lectures, panels, and workshops, we discussed the critical role of higher education in training professionals ready for today’s challenges: creativity, sustainability, and cultural roots 🌾📚.


Gastromonde was more than just a conference—it was an exchange platform:

  • Inspiration for new recipes 🍜

  • Ideas for healthy, responsible projects 👩‍🔬

  • Academia-industry connections 🤝


In short, a space driving a gastronomy committed to human development and respect for local regions and products 🌍❤️. See you at the next edition!
