GASTROSOPHY
One of the most intriguing aspects of the consulting hospitality company is that it is always changing. I have often remarked that our customers regularly want to know “What’s new?“ Our customers, like people everywhere, are anxious to “try the next new thing”, to discover new taste sensations and to enjoy new culinary experiences. We share their “passion for foods“….
Gastrosophy focuses on “chef gastrosophers” whose specialist field is professional expertise in gastronomy and hospitality. The position these individuals occupy today has been brought about by a succession of cultural, metaphysical and technological factors.
Chef Gastrosophers have progressed the aims of gastronomy, by becoming leading figures in contemporary cuisine. They occupy positions at the apex of the modern culinary hierarchy, having demonstrated individualism, entrepreneurship and a willingness to take risks. They set the culinary pace of the hospitality industry, and have invested in the cult of personality, freely utilizing public relations and image creation techniques.
Chef gastrosophers have realized that the modern hospitality industry has a dynamic which requires the business proprietor to innovate, to create bold images and identities and to market these

Perfect Ingredients
This is our secret
The love of food… There’s a very primal base about cooking. About food.
When people get together, sit down and enjoy a meal, it’s a moment of bliss that you don’t have to plan for, you don’t have to spend a bundle on. You can take that moment, sit down and eat and you have an experience in life that touches the depths of your soul.. it`s a love that last forever.
