My work has focused on the intersection of culinary practice, sustainability, menu engineering, and international quality and hygiene standards, understanding the kitchen as a space where technical, cultural, and economic variables relevant to professional training in gastronomy converge. Within the framework of gastronomic research and creation, my interests center on the critical adaptation of Mediterranean culinary techniques to Colombian and Santander ingredients; the analysis of culinary fusion resulting from colonial dynamics between Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean and its impact on contemporary Latin American cuisines; and the development of processes in aesthetics and menu engineering that incorporate cultural, sensory, sanitary, and profitability variables as part of the gastronomic creative process. I believe this experience can contribute to strengthening training processes linked to the productive sector and to the development of culinary proposals with territorial identity, sustainability, and academic relevance.
