The motivation behind the GourmetPast project is to provide unique and non-conventional training materials for culinary school instructors and students by focusing on the importance of culinary heritage and how it can be used to enhance education. The project aims to create a series of instructional videos that cover traditional food and public history methodology, providing a comprehensive overview of traditional dishes, ingredients, and cooking techniques, as well as the historical and cultural context in which they were developed. This approach allows students to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the food they are learning to prepare, and to develop the skills necessary to create traditional dishes that are both historically accurate and delicious. The project runs between October 2023 and November 2024.
