The present study deals with "Registration and Inventory of Ancestral Techniques of Holidays in the Province of Cañar" (TCADF). There are various techniques in the preparation of food on holidays that are not recorded in writing and that are verbally passed down from generation to generation with the loss of information. The objective of this study is to carry out an inventory and a subsequent record of the TCADFs that can still be obtained from previously qualified informants in the Cañar area. The methodology of this study was ethnographic and exploratory. It was used as a tool and strategy during the process for the gathering or compilation of information in the field. In addition, audiovisual media are an active part in the testimonial record as a methodological contribution. Periods of coexistence are planned with the different informants possessing the knowledge which provides the information regarding the culinary practices, in addition to the direct observation that will contribute to the description and subsequent registration of the manifestation of the intangible heritage, the object of which we classify into instruments, cooking techniques, and preservation techniques.

Keywords : Inventory; Record; Ancestral culinary techniques; Testimonial record; Audiovisual technique.
