Food Geniuys Academy designs its programs to allow for a more practical approach to education following the philosophy “learning by doing”. Students learn how to know, treat and enhance the best Italian products and how to create modern dishes in line with the latest trends.
Teachers are chefs from top restaurants and passionately transmit their knowledge and their philosophy to students, from the basic techniques to the most innovative and avant-garde methods.
Our Chef-teachers transmit invaluable concepts of the Italian cuisine, both traditional and modern and creative, to the FGA students. Each topic is approached practically: through the professional experience of the chef professor, the students have the opportunity to directly confront the job market that awaits them.
Many school trips to eno-gastronomic companies of excellence (markets, restaurants, artisan producers) complete the educational offer.

HACCP regulations
Since 1994, the European Economic Community has established several fundamental decrees that regulate “personnel hygiene and quality control” in the food industry and apply to all employees in the sector. It is enforced through adequate training and a system of auto-control called “HACCP” (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points).
Meetings with outside producers and suppliers
Meetings with owners, employees and supervisors of companies in the food service sector that work with ingredient production, distribution, control and administration, are valuable for students in order to fully comprehend the restaurant sector. Organic markets, wine and olive growers, renowned fish and meat vendors need to be known well by the Chef to ensure the best choice of ingredients.
