| Summary: | The general purpose of this article is to assess the current situation of researches conducted in Brazil at the post-graduation level (masters degree) on professional training in Gastronomy. We have conducted literature review, documental research and descriptive analysis of dissertations defended on the subject matter in Brazil until the end of 2012. We have analyzed: the educational institutions and post graduations programs involved; keywords shown in the dissertations; researchers’ profile (major graduation and professional experience); general objectives and the research’s scope; methodologies used. The main results show: the predominance of researches conducted in the city of São Paulo, researchers with some degree of experience in Gastronomy (with respect to training and professional practice), predominance of researches focused on the learning/teaching process, predominance of qualitative research, and the lack of detailed description of methodologies used in some researches.
