“We’re becoming our own program and removing ourselves from hospitality. It’s culinary skills with a management background,” Program Chair Chef Marga Isabel Marty explains. “Everything we’ve learned in the past 25 years, we’ve put into this. We have removed certain courses before to give way to hospitality subjects, which are now back because we see the importance. There’s Butchery, Advanced Baking, Culinary Development, Culinary Research, etc. We also have Restaurant and Kitchen Management; embedded in it is the design of restaurants and commissaries. When our graduates become executive chefs, they are asked to design the layout of their kitchens and dining areas so that they will be efficient and economically stable, allowing the restaurant owner or chef to actually make money.”
