ALIMENTARIA - Intercarn and Restaurama


Imagine you are an ant and you slowly raise your head and look up and see the huge jungle...
Imagine you are a nun or a priest and you suddenly open your eyes inside the Notre Dame Cathedral...
Imagine you are a young tourist and you are in the middle of Manhattan surrounded by skyscrapers...
And now imagine you are a foodie and you land in Alimentaria 08!

My back still aches! I spent 5 hours walking through the stands and corridors, watching, smelling, photographing, listening and tasting all kinds of food: from the sweetest treats and ice creams and chocolates to the tastiest Iberian Acorn hams, funny pizzas and snacks!


Ham violins ready to be "played"!!!

Finally a pizza that you can eat while you walk! Coneinn


Or maybe you are in the mood for a traditional dish but don't know how to cook it? Try with Just Married!


Are you just married? Have you ever fried an egg? Do you know the difference between boil and simmer? Here you have a typical Catalan dish ready for you to eat: Black Rice, just follow simple instructions and enjoy! Just Married


Isn't Salt important in foodies life? In old times, salt used to be an important and valuable exchange possession. Casanovas Healthy Gastronomy cares for good cuisine and shows us different ways of treating the best of the salts from Delta del Ebro, a Natural Reserve.


Time for a break: coffees, sweets, cakes, salty snacks, beautiful coffee cups... but the genius of the chocolate, the most admirable cacao sculptor is Oriol Balaguer. He is not only a plastic and design artist but also a palate master!!! Couldn't get a good picture because his creations were inside a glass showcase and the reflection of the light spoiled the picture, but please chocolate addicts, go and see his webpage... He is a Chocolate Magician!!! He used to work with Ferran AdriĆ  in El Bulli, in charge of the famous restarant's desserts and now he owns his own company. Hereunder one of his last creations: Planetarium.


This is only a small taste... but there will be some more in my next post. I also attended to a conference given by Ferran AdriĆ  and his second Chef at Bulli's. It's a priviledge to be near him. He has given Catalan cuissine a world wide 1st place!!!
