Abstract

Gastronomy is an area that has gained notoriety due to factors such as the rise of media programs and social projects, which present different faces of this science and professional kitchen routines. This work narrates social gastronomy initiatives, approaching how such projects contribute to reduce social asymmetries, and current initiatives for the professional development of people in vulnerable conditions. Projects from Universities (extensionists) are presented in this communication, in addition to those developed by professionals in the food sector (chefs and managers), associations and independent groups. A brief analysis was made about the importance of social gastronomy as a potential factor for personal, professional and economic development, contributing to the greater inclusion of people experiencing difficulties in entering the job market.
