Gastropreneurship Summer School

Tasting is a pleasure, it is a tradition, it is a business

Gastronomy has always been a significant part of the cultural roots and historical traditions of every society. In that sense, Ukraine is not an exception. On the contrary, gastronomy plays a vital role in its cultural life. Additionally, our culinary development has become a very significant element from an economic point of view, given its potential to attract tourism and investment, and to generate innovation. Ukraine has an extremely rich culinary tradition which has evolved over many centuries and are a reflection of the rich historical past. The vast territory, various environmental conditions and historical development of different regions influenced the formation of national cuisine and surprisingly transformed Ukrainian dishes. The eastern, western, northern and southern parts of Ukraine differ sharply in taste preferences and technologies for the preparation of traditional dishes. Authentic recipes combined with modern cooking techniques make Ukrainian cuisine one of the most colorful in the world. The program of the summer school of Ukrainian traditional cuisine, restaurant business and entrepreneurship is an amazing combination of history, traditions, culture and modern restaurant business.
