Hospitality, Culinary Arts and Meal Science

FAMM

Famm-modellen

The theoretical framework for teaching, research and aesthetic design at the School of Hospitality, Culinary Arts and Meal Science are informed by the “The Five Aspects Meal Model” (FAMM).

From this model, a number of research questions are derived with regard to the significance of the room, the meeting, the product, the management control system, and the atmosphere/ambiance for the meal. These five aspects are central to the identity of culinary arts and meal science and serve as the foundation upon which the activities of the subject and school are built.
