Resumo: This paper deals with the culinary knowledge and diet of the inhabitants of the town of Las Loicas, located in Malargüe (Mendoza, Argentina). This was achieved by collecting shared experiences in the framework of participant’s observation and by using the technique of key local informants.
The starting point is understanding cooking and food as cultural identifiers of communities or human groups, as languages that let us see how these communities perceive themselves and how they perceive others (Borrega 2004). Ouraim is to make the culinary knowledge of this town visible and revalued, to enhance the process of patrimonialization of intangible assets against a possible transformation of the environmental scenario.
