Social cooking project with creative gastronomy
Gastronomix It is in its essence a training program that, after two years of success, has consolidated itself as a reference within the national level.
The project is an initiative of the La Casa y el Mundo Foundation that provides a unique opportunity for young people and students between 16 and 23 years old with difficulties to complete a successful training period and offer them a professional opportunity.
Among its main values and characteristics, apart from the purely formative in culinary tasks, those developed in parallel, such as meetings with artists or workshops on emotional education and entrepreneurship.
The focus remains on the creativity and innovation, as was perfectly accredited in previous gastronomix editions, and the learning program enhances these capacities by helping to direct the person, awakening the potential that every human being carries within in communication and sociability tasks.
To do this, it will continue with the edition of the blog, the website and the social networks of the project, which already have an interesting community of fans.
The figures that its students show are really good, almost 70% of those who started it, continued their higher degree studies, and 23% got a work contract within the restaurant and hotel industry.
The project is launched by the hand of Javi Estévez, chef responsible for the reputed Tasqueria by Javi Estévez and awarded at Madrid Fusión with the 2016 Revelation Chef Award.
