scored.

According to Senac-AM’s Director of Education, Ellen Castro, Jacquin’s speech about the role of educational qualification goes against the institution’s proposal as a trainer of future professionals for the job market.

“Senac stands out as a reference school in the field of gastronomy. The students present were able to honor, in a suitable space, a chef with a structure of the fifth magnitude, being able to speak and give them guidance on the career in their lives. So, it is a collaboration for their career and for them to reflect on”,

Regional cuisine as a highlight

During the class-show, the guests were able to try a menu prepared by the gastronomy students of Faculdade Senac-AM with the collaboration of chef Jacquin, in a union of the Amazonian regional cuisine with the French one.

“Jacquin is a highly regarded person throughout Brazil and the world. He was also able to experience Amazonian spices and indigenous cuisine. So, being able to show all this exotic cuisine that we have is important. When you arrive in any state, what do you want to do? You always want to try the regional foods of that region. And Manaus already has this tradition of fish, regional restaurants, being very important and well attended, and has a lot to offer”,

he said.

For the Director-President of Manauscult, Osvaldo Cardoso, who highlighted the confidence of Senac-AM and the long-standing institutional partner, this exchange of experiences in gastronomy will expand the cultural baggage of the new chefs.
