INTRODUCTION This project with the title Espuma has the aim of designing and producing a medium-scale Espuma maker and dispenser. Espuma is a culinary foam invented by one of the best cooks in the world, Ferran Adrià.

The Espuma dispenser which is normally used in professional kitchens is a small-scale device equipped with gas cartridges.

Bigger models are not available on the market.

We make a medium-scale device to be used for making sweets foams for desserts or for example vegetable foam, etc. for starters and to accompany other mais dishes. Most of our partners schools have schools canteens who are able and willing to employ such a device for preparing school meals.

Each school formed at least one department in the project, such as conception, design, mechanical and electronic construction and make a Espuma cookbook.

Becouse of its interdisciplinary nature it was possible to integrate this project into the curriculum of every school.

In anticipation of their joining the UE the project have a school from Podgorica in Montenegro as a silent partnet with a view to future Europewide cooperation.

The pricipal aim of the project is the conception, design and production of an Espuma maker and dispenser and accompanying recepies for its aplications within a healthy food environment. All the task were distributed of modules to the individual departements of the partner schools.

This cookbook is part of one of the tasks of the project Espuma.

CZECH REPUBLIC THE

ÚSTÍ NAD ORLICÍ Ústí nad Orlicí is a district town in the Pardubice region. It is situated at the confluence of the Tichá Orlice and Třebovka rivers, 350 metres above the sea level and at the distance of 150 kilometres to the east from Prague. The population today is about 15 000 inhabitants. The very beginnings of the town existence date back into the second half of the 13th century when the ancient Slavic settlement called Oustí began to grow larger. The vast majority of the population used to live on agriculture and domestic weaving crafts. The expansion of the textile industry and the engineering production came in the middle of the 19th century in relation with construction of the railway from Olomouc to Prague. These factors influenced life of the town so much that the town became to be called the East Bohemian Manchester.

The town has also an important cultural tradition brought by great musical personalities.

We can name Jaroslav Kocian (a violin virtuoso) and Bohuš Heran (a violoncellist) whose legacy is annually during the international music competitions. There is one of the oldest choirs in Central Europe – Cecil’s Music Association. Other significant traditions include painting and building of Christmas cribs whose origins could be found far back in the 18th century.

The city also provides large sport facilities – a football stadium, an athletic stadium, an aqua park, an indoor swimming pool. Outside the city you can also find a camp site, new cycle paths which lead to neighbouring towns

THE SECONDARY SCHOOL OF APPLIED ARTS The Secondary School of Applied Arts in Ústí nad Orlicí has been connected with a textile industry since ever as the city belongs to places with an old textile tradition dating back to the 15th century. The turning point in production of textile appeared in the second half of the 19th century, when the system of a guild’s production was replaced by the engineering production concentrated in factories. The Trade Weaving School with a two-year program was founded in 1892. It always reflected needs of the textile industry and this bound saved the school at the period of economic recession in 1930’s.

Originally a two-year study program was extended to four years after WWII. Thus, the school met the criteria for providing full secondary education. Consequently, the school changed its name to Secondary Textile School and continued in cooperation with the industry. Its teachers and students contributed to restoration of the textile manufacturing at that area. The school also offered new types of study programmes which were suitable for employed people and gained a leading position in the textile education.

Changes in the society followed by economic changes in 1990’s, resulted in transformation of this school as well. Not only changed the school its name, on the top, it broaden selection of study courses offered to its applicants. Currently there are five study programs specialized in design (Fashion design, Textile and interior design, Graphic design of printed materials, Packaging design, Applied photography and media) and another four industrial fields (: Advertising and promotion (service/ administration),Mechanic-tool setting, Tool making).

ESTONIA ESTONIA Estonia lies on the north-eastern edge of the European Union. It is a small country as to its population, a medium country as to its area, and a spacious country as to its population per sq km. For Estonians and visitors, this means private swimming and sunbathing at sandy beaches in summer, picking mushrooms and meeting bears in virgin forests in autumn, driving a car on the frozen sea in winter, and greeting spring with hundreds of bird species returning from Arctic. In addition to keeping its nature intact, Estonians have managed to preserve its capital, Tallinn, a complete original medieval town. Its cobblestone streets and residences, barns and warehouses date back as far as to 11th century.

Most of the city’s restaurants and cafes are clustered in Old Town, offering versatile food from rather heavy traditional dishes to leaner modern versions. Estonians‘ strong connection to nature plays a major role in the food that they eat from one season to the next. Making forest berry jam, pickles, mushroom preserves at home is very common in Estonia. The most typical foods are rye bread, pork, potatoes and dairy products. Estonian desserts include kissell (thickened juice), kama (finely milled flour mixture), mannavaht (a cream made of semoline and juice), kohupiimakreem (curd cream) or compote. Rhubarb and apple pies are also a favorite. As to drinks, Estonia belongs firmly to the beer and vodka „belt“ of Europe.

Estonia has over 1500 offshore islands. Saaremaa is the largest of them with 2 673 km² and ca 35 000 people. Saaremaa was the wealthiest county of ancient Estonia and the home of Estonian pirates, sometimes called the Eastern Vikings. Today, the love of sea and its treasures is expressed in yachting and eating a lot of delicious smoked flounder in summer. Due to its mild maritime climate,

28

Saaremaa has a rich flora, including over 30 different orchid species. In summer, orchid hunters walk enthusiastically in the forests and meadows hoping to discover unknown species. Summer is definitely peak season of Saaremaa when warm sea and sandy beaches can be enjoyed all over the island. To make warmth and wellness last, facilities of spa-hotels and hundreds of different treatments can be enjoyed all year round in Kuressaare, the capital of Saaremaa.

KURESSAARE Kuressaare Regional Training Centre, founded in 1922, is an educational institution subordinated to the Estonian Ministry of Education and Science. It provides initial and additional vocational training in a wide area of specialties reaching from car repairing to IT and design. As tourism is a vital industry in the region, training specialists in catering, cooking, tourism management and hotel service plays an important role. Since Saaremaa has strong seamanship traditions and small vessel building companies, Kuressaare RTC trains boat builders being the only vocational school for these specialities in Estonia.

There are 1 000 regular students on upper and post secondary level, but also around 800 adult students during a year taking various courses.

The school has two hotels, a student restaurant and cafe. Peeter Pihel, a graduate of Kuressaare Regional Training Centre, worked as Chef de Cuisine in restaurant Alexander that was voted the best restaurant of Estonia for three years in a row.

Slovakia is also famous for its castles, folk architecture, spas and ski resorts.

The largest city is the capital, Bratislava. It is the political, cultural, and economic centre of Slovakia. It is also the home to several universities, museums, theatres, galleries and historical buildings in the Old Town.

Modern Slovakia was born as an independent state in 1993, when it peacefully separated from the Czech Republic.

The main industries include the production of metal and metal products, food and beverages, nuclear power, chemicals, machinery, paper and transport vehicles. The southern part of Slovakia is suitable for agriculture.

Our school is located in Galanta which lies in the centre of south-western Slovakia, about 50 km to the east of the capital. Galanta with around 15,000 inhabitants is one of the cultural, administrative and industrial centres of the Danubian Lowland region.

The main economic activities in all the south -west include machinery, the food industry and the automotive industry. The region is covered by the best farmland in Slovakia.

The south-west of Slovakia is a great region for summer tourism thanks to its location among rivers – Váh, Malý Dunaj, Dunaj – and its lakes, dam, fields and forests. The nature is suitable for swimming, cycling, yachting, windsurfing, water skiing, fishing and hunting. A number of thermal and non-thermal pools also serve for recreation.

Our further three specializations – industrial mechanics, road transport, and entrepreneurship and services in engineering – lead to the „maturita“ exams (school leaving exams that allow students to study at a university).

Our students have a possibility to take a driving course (for passenger cars, trucks, motorbikes and tractors) and a welding course (welding by flame, manual arc welding, active gas welding) at our school, which gives our students better chances to find a job.

The school campus consists of the main building for theoretical education and workshops with professional equipment in which the students learn how to perform practical procedures needed in their future job.

NORWAY HUNGARY SZEGED Szeged is the third largest city of Hungary after the capital, Budapest and Debrecen. It is also the largest city and regional centre of the Southern Great Plain and the county town of Csongrád county.

The name Szeged might come from an old Hungarian word for corner (szeg), pointing to the turn of the river Tisza that flows through the city. Szeged and its area have been inhabited since ancient times. Mark Pick’s shop – the predecessor of today’s world famous Pick Salami Factory – was opened here in 1869.

Today the downtown of Szeged has beautiful buildings and wide avenues. This is mainly due to the great flood of 1879, which literally wiped away the whole town.

Szeged is known as the home of paprika, a spice made from dried, powdered capsicum fruits.

Szeged is also famous for Székelygulyás, a goulash made with pork, sauerkraut and sour cream and one more recipe, Halászlé, fish soup made of carp and cat-fish.

Szeged is an important university town and a popular tourist attraction. With its 170 000 inhabitants, the town plays a leading role in the economic, administrational and educational life of the country. The famous Open Air Plays of Szeged are one of the main attractions held every summer. The city hosts several other cultural festivals, including the popular wine festival or fish soup festival.

SCHOOL HISTORY The school, Miksa Deri Member Institute of Elementary and Vocational Secondary School of Industry and Service of Szeged, is 115 years old and is proud that it has been serving technical education for more than a hundred years.

In cooperation with the local university, it plays an active role in providing vocational education.

The building was designed and completed in 1914 but couldn’t be used as World War I broke out and the building was used as hospital. In 1928, Albert Szent-Györgyi moved to the building. Here he continued his research and found vitamin C, extracting it from paprika for which he received Nobel Prize.

Finally, the school could get its building in 1937.

In 1955, the school took the name of Miksa Deri, it became known as Machinery and Electric Industry Polytechnic School of Deri Miksa.

Miksa Déri was a Hungarian electrical engineer, known for the invention of the alternating electric transformer system.

Since 1 January, 2013 the institution is controlled

Using the siphon

88

#USING THE SIPHON The function of the siphon is to blow air into the espuma core we wish to make. This airtight container made of aluminum and a chrome head consists of several parts: valve, rubber seal, decorating nozzle and charging stand.

The gas capsules (N2O compressed nitrogen) are essential for these air elaborations. Each single-use capsule enables you to mount up to 1/2 liter of product instantly.

Always use a clean dry siphon.

It is essential to pass the espuma base through a fine sieve to not obstruct the outlet valve.

Fill the siphons with the espuma base up to 80% of its capacity.

Check that the rubber seal head is well placed.

Screw the head onto the body of the siphon but not too tightly.

Place the gas capsules in the siphon and shake it.

Keep the cold espuma in the fridge and the hot espuma in a water bath at 62° C maximum for those with egg white and 70º C for those that contain starch, both cases without the capsule holder.

In order to be safe working with hot siphons the temperature should never exceed 80 ° C. To serve, shake repeatedly and put the siphon upside down trying to control the pressure until the espuma comes out.

The siphon must never be opened if it has not previously been emptied of gas.
