The Microsistemas Vocational Training Integrated Center, through its Higher School of Cuisine and Restoration, held the training day 'Cooking with Confidence', focused on allergen-free cooking.
The initiative, part of the center's 45th anniversary and organized in collaboration with the Lanzarote Island Council, brought together companies and professionals from the restoration sector in Lanzarote and also had business representation from Las Palmas. Demand exceeded the number of available places. All places were filled and a waiting list was opened.
The training was led by Pedro Hernández, chef at El Duende del Fuego, a restaurant in Los Llanos de Aridane, La Palma, recognized with the Sustainable Sun 2025 by Guía Repsol. The chef shared his experience in a kitchen that combines a commitment to sustainability, creativity, and attention to different dietary needs.
After the theoretical presentation and a question-and-answer session, the training continued with two cooking sessions, in which attendees could work individually and apply what they learned to situations common in their establishments. The chef's book was also available for purchase during the event.
The event included an institutional address by Armando Santana Fernández, vice-president and councilor of the Lanzarote Island Council, who highlighted the link between healthy, safe, and inclusive gastronomy and the quality of the island's tourist offerings.
The director of the Microsistemas Vocational Training Integrated Center, Beatriz Salazar Hernández, emphasized the value of having Pedro Hernández and of bringing this type of training to the island's businesses. "We want to show that a cuisine adapted to each person's dietary needs does not have to be a limited cuisine. On the contrary, it can be an opportunity to innovate, create, and offer gastronomic experiences of the highest quality, always ensuring the safety of those who enjoy them."
Salazar thanked the Lanzarote Island Council for its collaboration and the participating companies and professionals. She also stressed that continuous training is essential for Lanzarote's hospitality sector to continue advancing in professionalism, competitiveness, and excellence.
