Politics for Promoting National Gastronomy
06
O
ur cuisine unites us, identifies us and sustains us. We are what we eat and what we produce.
The recognition of our gastronomy by UNESCO, as a world heritage is a responsibility that we have before the rest of the world. Today Mexico is more conscious of what is implied in having this type of wealth, but it has also rediscovered all that this chain of value signifies for our country. The industry of food and beverage preparation represents 5.5 million direct and indirect jobs for the country and impacts 83 branches of the economy, more than 96 percent of the businesses related to agriculture, livestock, and fishing, and more than half a million of the food establishments are micro, small and medium companies. Today is the time to drive forward and to strengthen all the sectors, starting with the agricultural and fishery and ending with the service, crafts, and touristic sectors. The Politics for Promoting National Gastronomy is a force of inter-institutional and intergovernmental coordination, that hand in hand with the social and private sectors was founded to foment the whole gastronomic chain of values, and to spur on economic productivity, the involvement of the social

environment, the regional development, and the positioning internationally of our products for the transformation and exportation, having as an emblem VEN A COMER (COME TO EAT.) These politics are the ideal vehicle to catalogue our country as a unique gastronomic destination. Growth of a responsible and competitive food industry will be driven forward. The combination of the benefits of the traditional Mexican diet with the modern advances in nutrition guarantees a correct nourishment for everybody
Mexican cuisine is known around the world for its riches in lavishly condimented exquisite delicacies
The Politics for Promoting National Gastronomy include the instrumentation of pilot programs in specific zones of the country, designed in coordination with the Interamerican Bank of Development with the aim to expand nationally between 2016 and 2018. With information, accompaniment, training, financing, certification, promotion and diffusion businessmen and industries that generate jobs will be moved to action. Mexican cuisine represents what Mexico is and what it offers to the world. The Politics for Promoting National Gastronomy invests in its protagonists so they will be more competitive, so that they will generate better opportunities and more jobs, so that they will obtain better income and will contribute in consolidating an influential and prosperous economy for the benefit of all.

F
riedrich Christian Eugen Baron von Vaerst, who had the pseudonym Chevalier de Lelly, was a military official and later a writer and gastronome. He has the honor of being the first person to define “gastrosofia” at the end of the 19th century. There exists three types of diners:
The Gourmands (passionate for food) to the Gourmets (they enjoy elaborate and refined dishes) and the Gastrósofos (they always choose those healthy foods) as the “Gastrosofia” (is the art of pleasure in the table) According to Lelly it is the search for the perfect balance between good food and the preoccupation for the details that surround the dish to achieve a perfect combination. The “Real Academia Española” (RAE) shows us that the word Gourmet is a French word that translates as gastronome, a person understood in gastronomy or a follower of exquisite meals. The term is also used to rate elaborately refined food.
Edición I - 2016
So that a product can be rated as gourmet it is necessary to comply with the following.
1
Quality of the ingredients
2
Quality in the preparation - Hygienic care, care in the organoleptic properties – (physical characteristics of the foods.)
3
Made by people whose experience and passion for cooking lend themselves to the offering of a product that can be eaten by somebody that appreciates its quality and delicacy

MISCONCEPTION Gourmet IS NOT... Most expensive or exclusive. GOURMET: Products that come from a respected elaboration and harvest, an artesian product can be part of this category. www.RevistaBeGourmet.com
Visión Gastronómica “Centro de Capacitación y Formación Professional of international level with official validity within the reach of Queretaro. By Chef Bernard Corriveau
“Gastronomy is also attractive for tourists”
A
s Queretaro is a destination where tourists of different nationalities take their vacations, it is important to have the knowledge and practice necessary to reach their palates, so that they can take away a good impression of its gastronomy.
Chef Bernard Corriveau, rector of Vision Gastronómica, now called Academia de Arte Culinaria, stated that they participated in the last vocational fair to promote the first school in Baja California Sur giving a degree of Chef of International Cuisine validated by the S.E.P. He said that it was very important students that want to study gastronomy, a very fascinating career, to think in these points:
10
I have many years dedicated to it, and I am against deceits. There is only one way to be an International Chef and that is to study the career Técnica Superior Universitaria. Remember that in many universities the students studied a related degree course and for this they are going to be chefs. This is not true, a graduate of this type is not a chef. He is a person who has general knowledge in gastronomy but he is not a chef and does not have international recognition. I think each profession has its place and the Academia de Arte Culinaria is the only place to train as a chef. The career has 4 semesters:
• • • •
1. Professional Practice.- Local 2. Professional Practice. - National 3. Professional Practice. - National 4. Professional Practice - International
Vision Gastronómica now named Academia de Arte Culinaria also offers credits at manager level, kitchen level, and dining room level. The are structured as follows:

Erik Aarón Naredo Luna Operations Manager
Nicos Restaurant Queretaro
fter chatting for a few minutes with Be-Gourmet magazine, Erik operations manager of Nicos Restaurant Queretaro shared with us the principal challenges and demands that Nicos Restaurant has faced within the food and beverage industry.
A 14
“Mexican cuisine is a complete world, in fact it is considered a world intangible heritage by UNESCO”. Were the first words that showed the passion and enthusiasm that Erik has for the cuisine. What has been the greatest challenge that you have faced during your professional career? A. That the people demonstrate their interest in the preparation of the food. For this reason in Nicos Restaurant we have our personnel enter in the kitchen so that they are involved, and to sensitize them in the work that they perform, and so they do not limit their capacity. I seek to show staff to be organized, to be well formed, that they understand their place in the company, always giving importance to each position, and to teach them to take decisions according to their hierarchy. In what way does Nicos Restaurant support regional producers? A. Using their products by incorporating them in our menu. For example rabbit, goat’s cheese, sheep’s cheese, pine kernel, amaranth... For some time Nicos Restaurant have been supporting “Mexico land of Amaranth”. They offer us their product and we have Tuesdays of amaranth, and in Nicos we have a week of cooking and innovation with amaranth. For cerEdición I - 2016
tude. They should, above all, show initiative and a desire to progress, that they should strive to be better from day to day, that they should enrich themselves with knowledge and be open to learn. Many times their formation makes them retain a closed mind, and though it is very important to have preparation as this implies a compromise and a responsibility, they should have open minds to help their development. What does Nicos do to look after their employees? How do you face the problem of rotation? Since we see that it is a constant in the industry, but for you it is a strength. tain throughout the year we promote different festivals of Mexican cooking such as: Cooking by the author with the renowned chef Margarita Carrillo cuisine veracruzana, queretana, of the Southwest, oaxaquena, in August and September chiles en nogada, convential cuisine, all always accompanied with Mexican wines. What is the most outstanding dish of Restaurant?
Nicos
R. We have various, among them huevos Azcapotzalco for breakfast, Sopa de natas, this one is a recipe from the convent of the Capuchinas of Guadalajara and it is characterized as being an exquisite dish, made from a base of crepes with strips of chicken and slices of chile poblano bathed in a sauce of tomatoes and cream. Nicos generates a cuisine to be remembered, we look for home flavors, we take care of old recipes and we promote natural flavors so that they will stay in the memory.
Pan dulce is also one of our specialties. Bread filled with cheese, guayaba, apple, figs, rolls with cream and chocolate. We have more varieties but these are the best sellers.
What is your advice for youngsters who are preparing themselves for their development in this important and competitive industry? A. Principally that they should always maintain a positive atti-
A. We teach them to be more humane, to exploit their potential. We show them values, we show them to be tolerant and to have empathy between themselves and also with the customers. We highlight what they do well, and we help them with training for the things they cannot master. “For the diners the waiters and cooks of Nicos are my best team� and because of this our motto is service, quality, and courtesy. In Nicos we seek to mix human warmth with the quality of our dishes. What can you tell us about your next challenges? A. Every day there is more competition, and this motivates us and we are more obliged to maintain quality and the good treatment of our clients. All the time we are improving our production processes to optimize time. In what areas can better support be given to the restaurant sector? A. In the fiscal and in certifications and standards . www.RevistaBeGourmet.com

Culinary Career Chef Bernard Corriveau 18
f Canadian origin was born in the city of Quebec in 1958, eldest son of a family of 6 brothers and successor to the seventh generation of chefs in the Corriveau family. He graduated in Quebec in1976 as a Chef of International Cuisine and he specialized in classic French cuisine in Dallas, Texas with the Master Chef Jean Lafont, a French chef and ex-cook of the French president Charles de Gaulle.
O
Chef Bernard Corriveau began his Mexican gastronomic adventure in 1980, working in the Maria Isabel Sheraton Hotel in Mexico City, then as Corporate Chef of the Alfa Group of Monterrey, cooking for the most prestigious people of the time, including distinguished personalities such as ex-presidents of Mexico Jose Lopez Portillo and Miguel de la Madrid, John Paul II during his visit to Mexico, Ronald Reagan ex-president of the United States, the exprime minister of Canada Pierre Elliot Trudeau, the father of the present Canadian prime minister, as well as famous show-business persons like Lola Beltran, Chabela Vargas, and Lucha Villa among others. In 1986 Chef Bernard Corriveau returned to his native Canada to be elected for the first time in the history of Canada, (Chef of International Cuisine) as deputy in the National Assembly of Quebec. During this time he was able to make changes in the legislation so that the career of Chef of International Cuisine was recognized as a profession by the Canadian Government.
Edici贸n I - 2016
Chef Bernard Corriveau began his Mexican gastronomic adventure in 1980, working in the Maria Isabel Sheraton Hotel in Mexico City During his career in Canada he dedicated himself principally to the planning and organization of mega private dinners for the diplomats and artists that visited his native city, always presenting a classic French gastronomy with a touch of fusion with the Mexican cuisine. At this time he had the opportunity to cook for such personalities as: Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, Bill Clinton, Mijail Sergeyevich Gorbachov, Ringo Starr, Pink Floyd, Donna Summer and Tina Turner, among others. For the year 2000 he concentrated his gastronomic career in investigation, education, and training. He arrived to the Culinary Institute of Mexico (Instituto Culinario de Mexico) in Puebla as Chef Instructor and Coordinator of the Educative Gastronomic Program. Years later he began his Tapatia adventure in Guadalajara and Toluca working for the International Culinary School (Escuela Culinaria Internacional) as Dean of Gastronomy
With the demand and the lack of professionalism in the state of Baja California Sur the chefs made the decision to move their business to Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S. and they opened the doors of this institution for the level of ¨Técnico Superior Universitario¨ officially validated by the Secretary of Education. The students who finish the career obtain the degree of Chef of International Cuisine recognized both nationally and internationally. More than 650 South Californian chefs have graduated. Chef Bernard has always had great impetus in the sociocultural movements and because of this, during three years he held the post of Vice-President of CANACINTRA (National Chamber of Industry and Transformation) and also as founding President of the Association of South Californian Chefs, and for his great effort the Rotary Club of Los Cabos recognized him in 2013 as citizen of the year. He has always felt pride in being an integral part of his new country Mexico and due to this he studied to be a Professional Specialist in the Tasting and Sampling of Tequila, and in 2007 the Government of the State of Jalisco together with Culture and Training of Tequila and the Regulating Board for Tequila granted him the prestigious title of Ambassador of Tequila: for this his saying “ A good dinner without tequila is equal to a day without sun.”
Around this time, and because Chef Bernard has always worried about professional ethics and behavior, as well as the technique of culinary elaboration; , accompanied by Chef Gilberto Cabrera he initiated his own institution Visión Gastronómica; Centro de Capacitación y Formación Profesional, that specializes in training

Amaranth:
the best comestible of vegetable origin for human consumption.
Contributes in quantity and quality in adequate amounts of: proteins, lipids, starches, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Is especially rich in lysine, an amino acid that is missing in other grains and that helps in the execution of brain functions.

It contains squalene, an oil that is extracted from North Sea whales and which contributes numerous benefits to the skin.

José Pablo Godínez Charles Montes Director Grupo Pasta Queretaro
Restaurant Il Duomo “the one that started everything”
C 26
ontinuing our Gourmet tour, Pablo Godinez, director of Grupo Pasta Queretaro brings us his culinary innovations to live an Italian experience.
What have been the greatest challenges that Grupo Pasta have faced? A. Consolidate the gastronomic businesses that we actually have due to the competition that exists in the market. In what way does Il Duomo Restaurant support the restaurant industry? A. We support it by generating jobs both direct and indirect, by this I refer to the fact that we generate jobs for the sector, here enter the staff, and as well we generate work for the people that give us service. Also we activate the relation with the hotel industry realizing agreements to work together, thus achieving a touristic experience, which is very good for Queretaro.
Edición I - 2016
27 What is the most outstanding dish of Il Duomo? A. Well, we cook pastas with authentic recipes, as such, we offer what is tagliolinni with black truffle that consists of an artesanal pasta made in house, with butter, grana padano cheese and served with grated truffle. We also cook costata di manzo that is the specialty of the house, and we offer beef ribs baked in red wine and porcini mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus. Our sauces and dressings are also our specialty.
A highlight is our home-made bread and pastry.
What gastronomic concepts do your restaurants offer? A. Il Duomo is haute cuisine, meanwhile Il Diavolo has the concept of a Trattoria and Pizzaria. Here it is important to mention that the cooking and service are of an excellent standard with very accessible prices. We also offer table wines and cocktails.
La Pasteria is a concept focused exclusively in offering
antipastos and salads where the service is dynamic and of an extraordinary quality that makes you live an Italian experience La Osteria is a concept for commercial centers. We have a large variety of dishes like cuts of meat, fish, pastas, antipastos, salads, pizzas... What is your advice for the young people who are preparing themselves to follow a career in such an important and competitive industry? A. Start from the bottom to understand each position in the company. This gives them a much more complete vision of all the positions. They have to be conscious that this branch of industry is very demanding and they have to have a real passion to serve. It is a profession that when everybody is www.RevistaBeGourmet.com
celebrating and having fun, we have to be there looking after the clients.
28
What has been the success of Grupo Pasta? A. To be in a day to day business, if we have a problem, we all have to face it and if we receive a compliment we all receive it. Another important point is that we preoccupy ourselves about innovation, travelling we search for actual trends, training our corporative chefs abroad. With this we have different options and constantly offer our clients something new with each visit. By giving options we continue to be attractive for them. What does Grupo Pasta do to look after their staff? A.To begin with we offer good salaries. We also create an agreeable working environment, where they can feel motivated and at the same time they can feel economically benefited. We also train them, they receive instruction from suppliers so that they learn to sell the products that we use, explaining the characteristics of the merchandise, the various ways of preparing them etc.
Fiori Di Zucchini Edici贸n I - 2016
We respect the hours of work, showing them how to
have a good quality of life, and that they must rest so that they can work better. What are the next goals for Grupo Pasta? A. Important situations are coming for the group. First, maintain the nine places that we have at present: 4 Diavolos in Guadalajara, 2 Duomos, 1 in Queretaro and the other in Guadalajara, 1 Osteria in Queretaro and 2 Pasterias in Guadalajara.

We are very interested in expanding to other parts of the Mexican Republic, such as Celaya, Mexico City, and Monterrey - the places that we are sure our concept could attract customers.
Part of our project is to open another Pasteria in Guadalajara in the middle of this year.
In which areas can better support be given to the restaurant sector? A. Government support to facilitate procedures and renewal of permissions, and that they give more support in the tourism sector, that by way of the chamber of restaurants they generate more resources to give more help to the industry.
