Different than the Gourmet who is someone that has a sophisticated palate, the Gourmand enjoys the pleasures given by good food and drinks, without the complication normally associated with the Gourmet world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Philosophy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I started as a Gourmet, and over the years my love for the pleasures of good food and good drinks became bigger than my love of the rituals, rules and the complications normally associated with the Gourmet world. For the last 16 years I converted myself to a Gourmand and I have been crusading to demystify and simplify the pleasures associated with good food and good drinks. My goal is to teach and help everyone who has an interest in good food and good drinks to appreciate this sensual subject. We have to remember that the pleasures of the table are the only ones that are essential for our survival as an individual. That is probably why that some consider them a sin!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Services Offered to the General Public<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Introductory to advanced cooking classes and conferences<br \/>\nIntroductory to advanced wine\/spirits\/beer classes and conferences<br \/>\nIntroductory to advanced food and wine\/spirits\/beer matching classes<br \/>\nWine\/spirits\/beer tastings<br \/>\nFood and wine\/spirits\/beer events for singles<br \/>\nRomantic food and wine\/spirits\/beer events for couples<br \/>\nSeminars on food\/wine\/spirits\/beer\/cigars\/luxury items\/etc topics<br \/>\nEvent planning and catering<br \/>\nHome kitchen design services<br \/>\nWine cellar design services<br \/>\nWine collection evaluation services<br \/>\nWine investment consulting services<br \/>\nMotivational classes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Services Offered to the Food and Drink Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sourcing Services<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fine wines from a variety of countries<br \/>\nFine spirits from a variety of countries<br \/>\nFine beers from a variety of countries<br \/>\nNon-perishable luxury\/exotic food items<br \/>\nCooking utensils and appliances<br \/>\nFine tableware and crystal<br \/>\nPerishable luxury\/exotic food items<br \/>\nFine cigars<br \/>\nOther luxury items<\/p>\n<p><strong>IT services<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wine\/Beer\/Food\/Cigar\/Etc education kiosks<br \/>\nClient reward programs<br \/>\nBranded cooking and other software<br \/>\nFood\/Wine matching engine<br \/>\nCutting edge web-portal<br \/>\nCutting edge POS and management software<br \/>\nMultilingual food and wine blogs<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consulting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Food and beverage business planning<br \/>\nBusiness plan analysis<br \/>\nRestaurant analysis and consulting<br \/>\nMenu analysis and preparation<br \/>\nWine list analysis and preparation<br \/>\nProfessional classes (cooking, food prep, sanitation, wine, spirits, beer, sommelier, etc)<br \/>\nStaff motivation seminars<br \/>\nEvent planning and catering<br \/>\nRestaurant design<br \/>\nFranchising<br \/>\nSoftware and IT consulting<br \/>\nSoftware POS and management solutions<br \/>\nVineyard Weather Monitoring<br \/>\nVineyard Automation and Machine Learning Grapevines<br \/>\nWine and viticulture consulting<br \/>\nCommercial kitchen design services<br \/>\nWine cellar design services<br \/>\nWine collection and cellar evaluation services<br \/>\nWine investment consulting services<br \/>\nStaff and restaurant certification programs<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Curriculum Vitae 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.igourmand.com\/cv\/JLPFoodWineCV2021Mk1c.pdf\">Curriculum Vitae &#8211; English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.igourmand.com\/cv\/JLPComidaVinosCVMk2021b.pdf\">Curriculum Vitae &#8211; Espa\u00f1ol<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Web:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.igourmand.com\/<br \/>\n<strong>Web:<\/strong> http:\/\/www.jlpconsultants.com\/<br \/>\n<strong>Web:<\/strong> https:\/\/zoom.us\/<br \/>\n<strong>Facebook:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/neosteam.labs.9\/<br \/>\n<strong>YouTube:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC5eRjrGn1CqkkGfZy0jxEdA<br \/>\n<strong>Twitter:<\/strong> https:\/\/twitter.com\/labs_steam<br \/>\n<strong>Pinterest:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/NeoSteamLabs\/<br \/>\n<strong>Instagram:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/luc.paquin\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lucito<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8212;&#8212; #iGourmand #Lucito #food #recipe #beer #wine #spirits #FoodDrinkIndustry #FoodIndustry #DrinkIndustry #consultant #zoom #videoblog &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;&#8211; What is a Gourmand?
