Plan de estudios

Living the Hofmann kitchen means learning by doing, feeling every day the rhythm, energy, and demands of a real professional kitchen.

Over four intensive weeks, students immerse themselves in a fully hands-on experience that combines technique, flavor, and creativity.

Each week is dedicated to a different culinary universe, with guided sessions, continuous practice, and an educational field trip outside the school, visits to markets, producers, or restaurants that inspire, connect with the origin of ingredients, and complete a global vision of the craft.

Here, cooking isn’t studied, it’s lived, touched, tasted, and shared.
