Catálogo de la cocina tradicional del Monasterio Santa Clara de la Gruta de la Paz-Ecuador

The present investigation immerses itself in the fascinating world of monastic gastronomy, focusing on the Monastery of Santa Clara de la Gruta de la Paz - Ecuador. The objective of this research is to create a digital catalog using the gastronomic preparations made in the Monastery of Santa Clara de la Gruta de la Paz. The lack of knowledge regarding monastic gastronomy means that this interesting cuisine goes unnoticed. This work becomes important because it seeks to document and preserve the culinary traditions rooted in this sacred space, the recipes, culinary techniques and the connection between spirituality and the community life of the nuns are analyzed. The developed methodology begins with basic research with a mixed approach. 23 surveys and 5 interviews were applied through non-probable convenience sampling. The findings are the characterization of twelve dishes of monastic cuisine, reflected in a digital catalogue that constitutes a valuable resource that captures the essence of monastic gastronomy and contributes to its dissemination and recognition. It is concluded that monastic cuisine contains a wealth of unexplored knowledge that it would be prudent to investigate, since this is where the characteristic of baroque cuisine that remains in traditional Ecuadorian cuisine is born.
