El pan en el camino de la hospitalidad
(Hospitalidad ESDAI, 2014)
González Reza, Adriana María
;
Campus Ciudad de México
Bread is an inspiration for both cooks and intellectuals. We offer here a brief reflection regarding the relationship of bread with the Christian habit of hospitality, ESDAI's reason to be. From the Book of Genesis, Christian teaching has been to feed the visitor, to receive him well with the intent of meeting his most urgent needs. In the Western world, the tradition of baking has its deep family, social and commercial roots. The religious, political and social contexts are also reflected in this noble food, which is a current representation of human labor.

El dilema del omnívoro: criterios recientes.
(Hospitalidad ESDAI, 2013)
Covadonga Torre-Marina, María
;
Campus Ciudad de México
Human beings have always been plagued by the "Omnivore's Dilemma". On one hand we like the fact of innovating, trying new foods, but we tend to avoid them because it exposes us to many risks. Humans are omnivorous, but selective. From what is available we must classify things as edible or inedible and preferably, desirable and affordable. Not everything that is biologically edible is culturally possible: food does not consist only of nutrients but also of meanings, it does not only fulfill a physiological need, but also a social one, which is generated in the cultural environment in which we live, develop and eat. Anthropologists say that the strongest identity resemblance traits of people and communities are language and food. On what criteria do we classify food as edible or not? There is no single easy answer to this dilemma, addressed at different times by Rousseau, Brillat-Savarin, Paul Rozin and more recently by Michael Pollan. However, it is no longer inconceivable for the XXI century man to lose sight of "animal welfare" in food production. The perception, backed by modern science, of animals as "beings with feelings", provides a new paradigm when choosing food. Another recent influential food trend, is the "low carbon diet" which refers to choosing a lifestyle that reduces greenhouse gas emissions resulting from energy consumption during the production, packaging, transport and food preparation, in order to avoid the negative impact on the environment that contributes to global warming. This translates into being "localvorous" a term that refers to consumers concerned about sustainability who prefer products that have been grown or purchased locally [up to 100 miles away], a trend that may be an incentive for local development.

Culinaria ancestral: cimiento para el desarrollo de la civilización.
(Hospitalidad ESDAI, 2012)
González Reza, Adriana María
;
Campus Ciudad de México
Many historians and anthropologists have written about the origin of civilizations. Different views and different opinions have been published about it. However, it is only recently that scholars have focused in the important role that food had, and gastronomy has in developing nations. Eating raw, unprocessed foods often leaves us with a cool sense of grief that very likely our ancestors also felt before knowing delicacies. For those first dinners, as well as for us, the smell and taste of the food was a world of difference. The early culinary experiences of human beings should have been worthy of mention and praise. Surely there were unforgettable moments for the commensal of those prehistoric banquets. Many palates were pleased. Unfortunately we have no written references about the preparations. Teaching kitchen was made orally and was improvised based on previous results. It is since the development of Ancient Mesopotamia that we find the first references to the importance of the food cooked for sedentary men.
