Culinary Challenge: Kitchen Management Exams at GSD IS Buitrago.

Sure! Here’s the translation into American English:

On May 16, the GSD IS Buitrago center will become the stage for the highly anticipated final exams of the Higher Degree in Culinary Management, promising to blend creativity, technique, and a touch of excitement. Inspired by popular televised cooking competitions, these practical exams will serve as the definitive assessment for first-year students.

Starting at 8:30 AM, students will have the opportunity to prepare their dishes in the center’s modern facilities. Beginning at 1:30 PM, each group will present their creations to a diverse jury, made up of teachers and community representatives. This broad panel will evaluate the works from various perspectives, integrating both technical and community insights.

The jury will include prominent figures such as the mayor of Buitrago, Javier del Valle; the councilman for Sports, José Zambrano; Isabel Blanco, a member of the Madrid Community School Council; Ignacio Merino, president of the Sierra Norte Gastronomic Association; and other key representatives of the institution.

As for the exam structure, students will be required to create a tasting menu that includes seven dishes, where two appetizers are counted as one dish, along with two starters, two main courses, a pre-dessert, and a dessert. Divided into three groups, students will have the creative freedom necessary to apply all the knowledge they have gained throughout the course. The evaluation will not only consider the final presentation but also the entire creative process, taking into account aspects such as technique, cleanliness, organization, verbal expression, and personal inspiration.

These exams reflect the educational model followed by GSD IS Buitrago, based on Dual Vocational Training, which integrates theory in the classroom with real practice in companies. Although this approach has been mandatory since this academic year, the center has been implementing it since 2012, establishing itself as a benchmark in its application and connection to the professional world.
