This project aims to develop a Process Design for the Kitchen Club cooking academy by creating a methodology, setting up a teaching-learning model, and designing a rubric. It starts with the research of bibliographic material about this subject, and then, the author conducts a field research study in which professional chefs related to the Education area are interviewed to have a reference of the institutions offering a similar service. In this way, the field of knowledge regarding Gastronomic Education is expanded and the company is consolidated so that children and young people can have a basic training in the area of food and beverages. After this, the project carries out a study to identify the processes that must be used in the Management Design. In this case, the existing processes are analyzed to implement those processes that are missing. Likewise, bibliographic research is made to establish the Management Model that the company will use. This Management Model will go hand in hand with the future disciplinary order policies and rules for students and employees of the academy. Once we have followed these steps, the teaching and learning methodology is established through the presentation of a syllabus model and the contents that each of the levels of the academy will have. Finally, a model of the rubric is presented, which will help the academy to have feedback from the students and thus demonstrate what has been learned.

Recopilación de las tradiciones gastronómicas en los mercados de Cuenca y los términos más usados para impulsar el turismo gastronómico
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-01-10) Hidalgo Lazo, Sandra Noemí; Alvarado Martínez, Andrés Omar
In the gastronomic world, there are general and specialized dictionaries that contain terms and concepts related to cooking. Some countries have their own dictionaries of their gastronomic culture, which include specific details about their traditional cuisine, however Ecuador and particularly Cuenca does not have documents of this nature. Thus, this work begins the construction of an unprecedented dictionary with Cuenca gastronomic terminology. The research carried out was of a qualitative type, through a bibliographical analysis, descriptive observation in the places where the products are traded, interviews with the owners of the food outlets, which allowed the selection and generation of the culinary glossary. As a result, the historical review of the origin of the most used terms in Cuenca’s gastronomic dictionary stands out, product of the cultural fusion that began with the European colonization and; finally, the creation of the Cuenca’s gastronomic dictionary with 200 terms. Thus, Cuenca will have a new useful instrument for people related to culinary culture, and at the same time, it will be a tool for promoting tourism and preserving the region’s culture heritage, as well. Keywords: dictionary, culinary terms, markets, Cuenca’s gastronomy
