With Hautes Etudes du Goût, students can acquire useful knowledge and an understanding of taste, gastronomy and arts of the table.

The Hautes Etudes du Goût offer a global approach to foods and beverages. We use a three-pronged historic, scientific and economic view to allow our students to become experts in the field of gastronomy.

HEG gastronomy training program

We invite experts who provide students with various lectures on gastronomy and taste : “Evolution of food consumption”; “History of cuisine and gastronomy in the XIXth Century”; “Food, culture and society”; “Terroir effect on cheese production””, etc. Our program is based on Exact Sciences and Technology, Human and Social Sciences, and Economic and Legal Sciences.

Gastronomy course: pedagogical meals and workshops

As a last step of the training for our students, the Hautes Etudes du Goût organize different pedagogical meals and workshops (about medieval gastronomy, wine and champagne food pairings, etc.), as well as a visit to the biggest wholesale market in the world for fresh products (with Guy Chemla, Professor at the University of La Sorbonne-IV).
