Hello everyone! In this new blog I´m going to talk about the country I would like to visit It is difficult to think of a single country that I would like to visit since there are many countries that I would like to visit in my life, but without a doubt my biggest dream is to know the United Kingdom, but specifically I want to go to Scotland Since my cousin started living in England and he sent me photos of each country he visited, the one that made me fall in love the most was Scotland, its beautiful landscapes and stories completely captivated me and motivated me to investigate more and more about these mysterious lands. One of the things that most attracts my attention in this country is the typical food called haggis, a mixture of sheep giblets wrapped in its own stomach (I may like the country a lot, but I would never taste that dish) I would like to visit Edinburgh without a doubt since this city was the place of inspiration for JK Rowling, creator of the Harry Potter universe, a ...

 Hello everyone! In this final blog I'm going to talk about  the subject i enjoy studying in the school During the last two years of school I wanted to study gastronomy, but since my family did not let me study it, I decided to start studying it for fun, especially everything related to pastry. I love studying pastry because since I was little I enjoy all sweet foods, especially cookies and cakes, I also like people to eat and enjoy every preparation I make for them. In recent years I have learned not only to prepare each dessert that I study, I have also learned about the composition of each food that can be used in a recipe, I have also learned about history, especially I learned more about the life of the Queen of France Maria Antonieta, a woman who was characterized by her great love of cakes and all the sweet food that was available to her. Before studying pastry in depth, I believed that it was very difficult to make every preparation I looked at, but the truth is t...

 Hello everyone! In this blog in this blog I will talk about José Miguel Aguilera, the person I admire in the area of food engineering I admire this engineer for being the pioneer in the study of the structures of food to make them healthier and more functional and I fundamentally highlight the recognition that he has worldwide in the food sciences. José Miguel Aguilera studied chemical civil engineering at PUC, then attended Cornell University and MIT to obtain doctorates in food engineering. In 2008 he was awarded the National Prize of Applied and Technological Sciences of Chile for his contribution in the study of food structures, his great idea was to study the composition of each food in order to reduce calories and fats in food. Today he is dedicated to teaching and publishing scientific articles, in addition, his publications have made him recognized in countries such as France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Peru and Germany. Without a doubt, he is a very admirable ...

I think that food engineering has a great impact on the world despite the fact that the career is very little known. Day by day in this field there are problems such as: the environmental impact that occurs in the industry, the shortage of food, the displeasure among consumers, the lack of hygiene in food processes, etc. People who are dedicated to working in this area must be very delicate in each of these complexities that arise because making mistakes in the food industry can have a great negative impact on people who daily purchase products for their consumption.   Despite the short time that I have been studying this career, since I began to investigate this area my idea has been to focus on food safety, that is, in the correct way that each product must be handled so that its consumption. On the other hand, the idea of ​​creating new products that can satisfy people's needs attracts my attention, for example, I would like to be able to develop large varieties of sweet...

Hello everyone! This blog is about my favourite photo and I chose this great photo... This iconic photo was taken by photographer Boris Minkevich, who captured the exact shot showing ice figure skater Tonya Harding crying out to the judges to give her a second chance at her routine as her cord untied at the Olympic games in Lillehammer, Norway in 1994. I like this photo too much because since I saw the movie "I Tonya" I was interested in finding out more about the life of this athlete, besides that at the time this photo was captured Tonya was going through one of the worst moments of her life: she was blamed for breaking the leg of her skating rival Nancy Kerrygan which caused her to be suspended forever from the United States Figure Skating Association. Finally, the culprit of breaking Nancy's leg was not Tonya, it was her ex-husband who sent a friend to perform this feat and so, make his ex-wife to be the champion in the skating of the Winter Olympics in 1994. Thanks...

When I start to think about my favourite food, this becomes very difficult for me because I have so many favorite foods. Every certain period of time my preference for a type of food changes: sometimes I say that my favorite food is Italian food, other times I say that it is sushi, or I also usually say that I like soups. But without a doubt there is a preparation that I have liked from a very young age: hamburgers.  The hamburger is a sandwich that contains a piece of ground meat and its ingredients tend to vary according to people's taste, in my case I love burgers with cheddar cheese, pickles, lettuce, red onion and a lot of mustard (I don't like the others sauces). I love hamburgers because the mixture of these ingredients form an exquisite flavor, I also like that being a regular size, hamburgers can be a meal that you can carry without any problem in a bag or backpack and you can eat it without using plates or forks or knives. Although it is a delicious meal, it is harmf...
