Chef cooking with in the Advanced Culinary Technique Course

Introduction to the Specialization Program in Advanced Culinary Techniques

Beyond avant-garde cooking.

We teach you how to innovate and create culinary experiences worthy of the 21st century

Professional kitchens, the social climate, food consumption and new products have evolved more in the past 25 years than in the previous 250. As such, the gastronomic sector is now in need of more specialized chefs who are able to take on the culinary challenges of the future.



After completing the Specialization Program in Advanced Culinary Techniques, you will be at the forefront of these changes. You will break all the rules of food physics and chemistry to create and innovate in professional kitchens and the food industry, using every tool in your arsenal, from age-old cooking techniques to new avant-garde culinary methods, to develop new products, culinary proposals and multi-sensory experiences using the most advanced technology.



The Postgraduate course in Advanced Culinary Techniques will lead you into the future of gastronomy by giving you new skills acquired through scientific and gastronomic rigor. You will improve textures, discover new flavors, alter the chemistry of food, use techniques such as freeze-drying, discover the behavior of gasses in carbonation and learn about different cuts and their application, from a global and creative perspective.



The Specialization Program in Advanced Cooking Techniques offers comprehensive training in professional contemporary cuisine that includes two gastronomic trends:

  1. Molecular and Scientific Cooking: You will learn to apply science in the kitchen by using innovative techniques such as spherification, gelation, freeze-drying and deconstruction, among others, and to transform ingredients’ molecular structures to create surprising textures, flavors and presentations.
  2. Fire and Low Temperature Cooking: You will master the fine art of cooking with fire and low temperatures by learning techniques such as sous-vide, smoking and cooking with liquid nitrogen. You will understand how to combine raw materials with each of the heat and temperature techniques and apply them to specific objectives and contexts worthy of the 21st century.

Both trends shape avant-garde cuisine and allow you to experiment with the exciting world of contemporary cooking, using unusual ingredients, 3D printing of food and artistic presentation techniques.



This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date intensive program you can find on the market. During this 15-week course, you will learn from a disruptive methodology that will not involve repeating recipes, but rather developing the tools to learn through scientific formulation and creativity to find better solutions and develop innovative proposals that will help you build your own personality as a chef.



You will be completely transformed over the three months of cultural immersion in the city of Barcelona. You will acquire the confidence to design, organize and lead kitchens in any international haute-cuisine restaurant, launch your own project or business, lead R&D in an industrial-scale business, or advise other industry professionals on the development of new products and concepts.
