There is no aspect of reality -economic, social, cultural, or even political- that does not crosses the spectrum of what we eat. It is at this intersection that the Basque Culinary Center (BCC) comes into play, as it uniquely embodies the scope, complexity and wealth of a word full of significance as gastronomy. It is vital for us to fully assimilate what happens in our sector, not only to absorb and take part in our surrounding environment, but also to propose innovative initiatives aligned with present-day demands and the challenges and opportunities ahead. We are determined to connect with developments in every arena. We understand that it is our duty to accompany gastronomy’s unfolding path, promote it from an interdisciplinary perspective, and delve deeper. Nine years ago, a group of Basque chefs and Mondragón University created the Basque Culinary Center Foundation with support from public institutions and the goal of establishing a pioneering center for higher education to offer the kind of professional training the gastronomy sector demanded and deserved. With the objective of consolidating an increasingly skilled, responsible and dedicated guild, the Faculty of Gastronomic Sciences and the Research and Innovation Center were founded. Since our founding, our driving motivation has been to train versatile professionals capable of immersing themselves in the movement of gastronomy and succeeding in any culinary field. At present, our Faculty of Gastronomic Sciences welcomes students from 32 countries. Every year, a total of about 600 students enroll in our Degree in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts or one of our eight Master’s degree programs. In addition, another 2,000 students complete short-term courses that we continuously design for both professionals and enthusiasts. 8 9 Our Technology Center, on the other hand, focuses on research and innovation for In addition, another key factor for the BCC has been viewing gastronomy as a strategic product and service design in collaboration with a diverse range of companies. We sector. Gastronomy contributes economically and socially to an entire value chain, and organize and host around 100 events every year at our facilities. Our initiative “Culinary can serve as a springboard for the promotion of cultures and, therefore, of countries Action!” encourages and supports entrepreneurship and new businesses. Furthermore, as well. we also promote, in conjunction with the Basque regional government, initiatives such In this sense, gastronomy is a country-brand. It adds value to products from a certain as the Basque Culinary World Prize. place and to the products’ transformation as well. It encompasses all actors from the Four years ago, after intense internal reflection based on our past experiences, hotel and restaurant industry and activates tourism. All this explains why more and we realized that our mission should focus on developing the economic and social more countries are conscientiously investing in gastronomy: they understand the potential of gastronomy, which involves taking on the challenge of endowing this word power of gastronomy to attract visitors interested in experiences that only gastronomy -gastronomy- with meaning that, while reflecting the current reality, does not refer can offer in such special ways. exclusively to cuisine. Until not long ago, when the topic of gastronomy came up, it Gastronomy is also part of cultural and creative industries. In the gastronomy sector, was primarily associated with fine dining. This association, however, has changed. innovative chefs and entrepreneurs spark trends and change what we eat and how we The concept of gastronomy has expanded by leaps and bounds and has also been eat it. A sector of such dimensions and vitality needs entities dedicated to research, democratized. training, dissemination and innovation. In other economic and professional sectors, The BCC was fortunate to foresee the exponential potential of gastronomy in a rapidly such institutions already exist. In gastronomy, however, they are few and far between. evolving landscape. Furthermore and most importantly, the BCC has taken this vision The BCC is able to tackle this challenge thanks to the key contributions of many people, to heart in its activities and become an active agent for and promoter of this new way including the members of our Board of Trustees, which consists of public institutions, of understanding and living gastronomy. private businesses, universities, technological centers, and a group of inspired Basque A truly tangible example of this is the Basque Culinary World Prize, which was created chefs. These chefs are leaders in their profession who have demonstrated what it in conjunction with the Basque regional government. This award is bestowed upon means to innovate a country’s culinary tradition through cooperative work. Likewise, chefs with transformative initiatives to celebrate how chefs from around the world the chefs who comprise our International Council have also managed to transform the use their unique knowledge, leadership, entrepreneurial skills and creativity to effect cultures, images and gastronomic landscapes of their countries and regions. The work change in areas such as health, education, the environment, economic development, of the Basque Culinary Center is made possible by an entire community of passionate innovation, industry or even humanitarian action and public policy. and dedicated people who demonstrate everyday what excellence and authenticity can offer. Since the launch of this award in 2016, it has been inspiring to discover hundreds of hard-working entrepreneur-chefs focused on excellence. These are innovative and Thanks to the dedication of all these collaborators, the Basque Culinary Center takes on creative people who go against the grain. They are tenacious or even reckless but, its mission with a strong sense of responsibility, realizing that it is our duty to educate above all, they are committed to effecting positive change in their environment. future generations according to our vision and the values inherent to it. 10 11 Thus, we embark on a project titled 50“ glimpses” that aspires to use original content to The New Basque Cuisine reinvigorates the ongoing development of traditional and connect the multidimensional worlds within gastronomy, and empower them and instill modern Basque cuisine.

    REGIONS FOOD & DRINKS POLITICS & CULTURE TRAVEL ABOUT STORE Search PRINT SHARE TWEET EMAIL THE HEROES OF THE NEW BASQUE KITCHEN BY ANTHONY BOURDAIN ’m thinking about pears…” is how I imagine their conversations beginning. Late at night, the phone rings in the home of Juan “I Mari Arzak or Ferran Adrià, and the two friends, two of the greatest and most influential chefs in the world, talk about food, about concepts, ideas they are working on. They call each other for inspiration, to bounce ideas off each other, to imagine how they might next push Spanish cuisine forward, and then forward again. Adrià, of course, was the chef of the world-famous El Bulli in Catalonia, which was said to be the world’s best and most innovative restaurant until it closed in 2011. But Arzak, who runs his family’s eponymous restaurant in San Sebastian, was, in many ways, an even more important pioneer. Arzak grew up on the second floor of the same restaurant he still runs today, the third generation of Arzaks to work in what was then a traditional Basque kitchen. But in the 1970s, heavily influenced by the “nouvelle cuisine” of next-door France, he returned to become a transformative figure of the culinary landscape, helping to create a “nueva cocina vasca” that in turn inspired and influenced future generations of Basque and Spanish chefs. Ferran and Albert Adrià, Martin Berasetgui, Andoni Aduriz: these are just a few of the chefs who looked to Arzak as an example of the new possibilities. His daughter, Elena Arzak, joined her father in the kitchen after training abroad with Alain Ducasse and Pierre Gagniare, and is now considered one of the great chefs in the world in her own right.

  • Tokyo Conclusions
    CONCLUSIONS OF TOKYO MEETING G9 – ADVISORY BOARD OF BASQUE CULINARY CENTER Last year, in our meeting held in Lima, Peru in september, 2011, we decided that the next meeting would be held in Tokyo, Japan. It has been an honor to be here, to recognize the suffering of the people and to have had the opportunity to Visit the farmers and producers affected by the earthquake and tsunami that deVastated Japan on march 11, 2011. Next Steps of the Council We have spent September 23 and 24, 2012, discussing a wide range of issues, which, to our understanding, could be the keys in the education process for the Basque Culinary education program as well as to any other culinary curriculums. In our sessions, we thought about and adopted a series of guidelines which will be important for the future deVelopment of the Council. G9, the name this AdVisory Council of the Basque Culinary Center is also known, has, as fundamental mission to help the Basque Cuinary Center in its strategies, contents and training practices. Basque Culinary Center is an uniVersity and reserach institution that wants to be a pioneer in the field of gastronomy. The BCC, following the line of contemporary cooks, will share this knowledge with the educational insitutions of the whole world which wish to do so. In the session held in Tokyo we analysed and workd on the map of contents and subjects that the Basque Culinary Center teachs. We identified 5 areas of analysis which influence the task of contemporary cook and which could be taken into account in their education (see annex) 1) Social changes occured; 2) EVolution of high cuisine during the last 50 years; 3) Intredisciplinarity in the work of the cook; 4) Relation between the cook and the society; 5) Influence of new Technologies of information and Communications During all this year we will work in order to contextualize and identify all the culinary moVements and tendencies from the 1960 up to today, taking NouVelle Cuisine as starting point.
