The event held on September 30 at the Vicálvaro campus, headquarters of the FCJS, has revolved around the study of legumes on the occasion of the declaration by the United Nations Organization (UN) of the International Year of Pulses .

The attendees have participated in workshops and meetings with researchers in which a historical journey has been made of the role of legumes in relation to the most representative social crises of XNUMXth century Europe through the analysis and viewing of surrealist pictorial works.

In addition, the participants in the event have been able to witness a live cooking show, by Mario Sandoval, chef of the Madrid restaurant Coque, recognized with two Michelin stars.
