Recently, the Culinary Team and kitchen staff at Sunset World’s Sunset Royal and Sunset Marina hotels were trained in haute cuisine and pastry, guided by two chefs from the German organization Senior Expert Service: Norbert Winkler, an expert in European cuisine, and Giordano Giovanni Bottignole, an expert pastry chef.
At Sunset Royal, the training focused on the most authentic Western flavors and included the preparation of beef Wellington, chicken cordon bleu, pork roulette, beef bourguignon, sauerkraut, and minestrone soup, among others, focusing on baking and fermentation techniques. This training was primarily provided to the buffet and dinner staff.
As for Sunset Marina, the training was provided to pastry chefs and consisted of improving techniques such as chocolate decoration, molding, and fortifying flavors and textures, preparing, among other famous desserts, apple strudel, chocolate volcano, mousses, plum tart, Italian meringue, and French sponge cake.
Senior Expert Service is Germany’s leading volunteer organization for retired experts and executives in all sectors to share and exchange knowledge and experiences internationally under a “help-for-self” approach. Senior Expert Service has been present in Mexico since 2017.
