The objective of this study was to identify and standardize 2 pineapple-based recipes from the municipality and to evaluate the effect of the use of avant-garde culinary techniques on sensory acceptance. First, an ethnographic study was carried. The study showed that in the rural area, the only preparation made with pineapple is juice; in the urban area, the preparations included ice cream, yogurt, cake and caramelized pineapple, the latter being the most traditional. The pineapple cake obtained greater sensory acceptance with the avant-garde culinary technique used, given that the foaming technique made it possible to obtain a spongier cake.
