Gastrosinapsis
I am a proud co-founder of the multidisciplinary research team that brings science and gastronomy together. Today, the Gastrosinapsis Think Tank.
- Team
- 20 researchers and professionals
- Institutional support

Multidisciplinary research work
Historians, neuropsychologists, goat herders, biochemists, potters, marine biologists, fishermen, chemical engineers, farmers, neurologists, vets, volcanologists… And, most important of all: "local people" have been the inspiration to develop our work and create what is today Gastrosinapsis.
Cooking, science, research
Team, analysis, technologies
This group of researchers based in the Canary Islands is building the habit of doing research from Tenerife and consolidating its discoveries, presenting them from here to the whole world.
Our vision for the future of cooking and gastronomy runs through science.
