Round table
Ancestral techniques. The line between tradition and plagiarism. The journey of flavour through time.

This presentation invites reflection on the contemporary use of inherited culinary knowledge.
Taking a historical and cultural approach, it explores ancestral techniques as living heritage and analyses how they have been transmitted, reinterpreted and, in some cases, appropriated without recognition.
The talk addresses the fine line between legitimate inspiration and plagiarism, raising questions about the ethical and cultural boundaries of today's gastronomy. It proposes a journey through flavour as collective memory, identity and legacy, from the origin of ingredients to the evolution of preparation methods, highlighting the importance of preserving, respecting and raising awareness of the communities that have sustained this knowledge over time.
