Students and alumni of Le Cordon Bleu Madrid enjoyed a masterclass that Begoña approached from several areas. Attendees learned how to prepare a delicious Eastern Mediterranean recipe, delving into symbiotic foods, functional foods containing probiotics and prebiotics, and how they improve microbiota balance.
