CP GM Espagne 2012 EN PRESS RELEASE Boulogne, France – November 24, 2011 Michelin Guide Spain & Portugal 2012 Michelin has published the new edition of the Michelin Guide Spain & Portugal. As in years past, it presents a broad selection of hotels and restaurants in both countries. This is a very special year in Spain and Portugal. Faced with a severe economic crisis, many hotels and restaurants are working hard every day to stay in business. This does not mean, however, that they have abandoned their commitment to excellence. On the contrary, quality has improved and the true values of Iberian cuisine are reflected more fully than ever on restaurant menus. Nonetheless, the business environment remains difficult. In particular, the gourmet dining scene was seriously shaken by Chef Ferran Adrià’s voluntary decision to close elBulli, considered by many to be the best restaurant in the world and the epitome of creative cuisine. In response, the MICHELIN guide Spain & Portugal team has focused firmly on the future and reaffirmed its confidence in Spanish and Portuguese chefs. Every day, highly skilled, innovative professional chefs throughout the peninsula are leveraging their passion for cooking and craftsmanship. The MICHELIN guide Spain & Portugal 2012 features a selection of 4,448 establishments, including 2,246 hotels, 295 country guesthouses, 1,783 restaurants and – in Spain – 124 tapas bars. It also presents a selection of 229 Bib Gourmand restaurants that offer high quality meals at a reasonable price (€35 or less) and 51 hotels displaying the Bib Hotel label, which denotes affordable, quality accommodations, with double rooms available for €65 or less in major cities and tourist destinations and for €55 euros or less in other locations. The 2012 edition also includes 311 especially pleasant establishments, which are highlighted in red. As always, the Michelin Guide offers a selection of the very best restaurants in each country, identified with the famous Michelin stars. One star denotes “a very good restaurant in its category,” two stars mean “excellent cooking, worth a detour” and three stars indicate “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.” This year, five Spanish restaurants were awarded three stars: Akelare and Arzak in San Sebastián, Martín Berasategui in Lasarte-Oria (Guipúzcoa), Sant Pau in Sant Pol de Mar (Barcelona) and El Celler de Can Roca in Gerona. In addition, 19 restaurants were awarded two stars and 127 others one star. The guide, which lists 1,397 localities, also includes 174 plans of 131 towns and cities, as well as 34 regional maps, taken from Michelin’s extensive cartography databases. The Michelin Guide Spain & Portugal 2012 is on sale at a price of €23.90. Note: Torijos, the restaurant in Valencia, closed after the closing date for the 2012 edition of the MICHELIN guide Spain & Portugal.

  • The MICHELIN Guide Spain & Portugal 2015
    PRESS RELEASE Marbella, November 18, 2014 The MICHELIN guide Spain & Portugal 2015 The robustness of the Iberian Peninsula’s cuisine is reflected in a solid, firmly established base that acts as a springboard for great culinary achievement. Michelin unveiled the 2015 selection of the MICHELIN guide Spain & Portugal, which this year includes 3,158 addresses, of which 1,660 hotels and 1,498 restaurants. The 2015 selection “perfectly highlights the diversity, the renewal and the creativity of Spanish and Portuguese chefs, who have brought their distinct personalities to the kitchen with innovative, original and unique creations” said Michael Ellis, International Director of the MICHELIN guides. “Chefs are constantly looking for clever ways to reinvent themselves, as illustrated by the recent surge in tapas bars that are making quality and excellence more broadly accessible in line with a new gourmet food philosophy”. This year, the eight restaurants that received a 3 stars rating in the 2014 edition (Akelaŕe, Arzak, Azurmendi, DiverXO, El Celler de Can Roca, Martín Berasategui, Quique Dacosta and Sant Pau) have all maintained their high standards to retain the distinction in 2015. This new edition also includes two new 2 stars restaurants: Aponiente in El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz) and Belcanto in Lisbon. At the helm of Aponiente, Ángel León sets the tone for an imaginative, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, while, at Belcanto, José Avillez skillfully combines tradition with huge doses of creativity in his quest for flavor and excitement. With these newcomers, the MICHELIN guide Spain & Portugal comprises 21 n restaurants. This edition lists 154 1 star restaurants, 21 of which are new.

Gies Gustavo Pellón Herbert Braun ii © Copyright by Alison Heather Atkins All Rights Reserved August 2013 iii Abstract This dissertation analyzes the representation of food in Spanish novels and cookbooks from the 1980s and 90s, a period in which Spanish cuisine gained an unprecedented level of international visibility and prominence. Using both cookbooks and novels published during the period, my project examines the tension between everyday and stylized food practices in order to explore how each text engages with questions of authorship and artistic creation. The first two chapters focus on cookbooks authored by alta cocina chefs as well as by gastronomic critics who have compiled signature recipes by the chefs. I consider how these texts engage with contemporary theories of authorship and creativity, establishing a complex relationship with the modern notion of author as individual, autonomous, and unique, a kind of genius figure. In Chapter 1, I analyze the ways in which the prologue writers and compilers of two cookbooks of the early 1980s, Carlos Delgado’s Cien recetas magistrales (1981) and the 1982 Grandes maestros de la nueva cocina vasca present the featured chefs as unique and autonomous creators as part of a process of establishing culinary art as a legitimate art form.

  • SPU 27.1X Science and Cooking: from Haute Cuisine to Soft Matter Science
    SPU 27.1x Science and Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to Soft Matter Science This course will discuss concepts from the physical sciences, especially chemistry, that underpin both everyday cooking and haute cuisine. Each week we will visit, or be visited by, one or more world-famous chefs, who will show us the secrets of some of their remarkable creations. We will use these as inspiration to delve into the fundamental chemistry behind food and cooking. The chefs include José Andrés (ThinkFoodGroup, Minibar, Jaleo), Joanne Chang (Flour Bakery, Myers and Chang), Dominique Crenn (Atelier Crenn), Daniel Humm (Eleven Madison Park), Joan and Jordi Roca (El Celler de Can Roca), Enric Rovira (Master Chocolatier), Carme Ruscalleda (Sant Pau), and Bill Yosses (former White House Pastry Chef). There will also be demos and lectures by other leaders in the field, including Ferran Adrià (El Bulli Foundation), Dan Souza from America’s Test Kitchen, authors Harold McGee (On Food and Cooking, Keys to Good Cooking) and Nathan Myhrvold (Modernist Cuisine), as well as food scientist Dave Arnold (Cooking Issues). At the end of the course, students will be able to explain how a range of cooking techniques and recipes work, in terms of the chemical transformations of food. Instructors Michael P. Brenner Glover Professor of Applied Mathematics Harvard University Pia Sörensen Preceptor in Science and Cooking Harvard University David Weitz Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and Applied Physics Harvard University Prerequisites Knowledge of high school physics and chemistry will be useful, but not required.

  • Discover the Natural Beauty & Complex History of Catalonia • Appreciate
    Discover the natural beauty & complex history of Catalonia Appreciate charming Girona, nestled on the banks of the Onyar River Explore Roman archaeology in Tarragona & visit the magnificent monastery of Poblet Understand the Catalan character through the architectural legacy of Modernisme found in Barcelona Stay in two centrally located historic hotels in Barcelona (5*) & Girona (4*) Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona Catalonia, with its fertile plains and sunny shores, is one of the most distinctive and beautiful regions in Spain. With its own language as well as a markedly defined culture, cuisine and character, it is made up of four provinces: inland Lleida and coastal Girona, Barcelona and Tarragona, the latter three of which we shall visit. As you will discover, many of the Catalan people feel a proud ‘independentista’ spirit, rooted in a turbulent past where they have been forced to defend their national identity, again and again. The former Greek colony of Emporion (“Trading Place”) in north eastern Spain became a strategic settlement through the wars between Rome and Carthage, then with the arrival of the Romans in the early third century BC came the development of the great metropolis, Tarraco (capital of Hispania Citerior) and the important city of Barcino. After the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, Catalonia was ruled by the Visigoths until Muslim conquest in 718, which (unlike within the rest of Spain) here lasted only eighty years before being pushed back by the Franks. The architectural legacy of the Arabs can be seen alongside Girona’s beautifully restored monuments, spreading out from the cathedral where the Arab inspired baths are found next to the old Jewish quarter, Romanesque churches and Benedictine monasteries.

To celebrate in a very special way, the 25th anniversary of the restaurant Le Louis XV, Alain Ducasse and Monte- Carlo SBM aspired to invite the greatest chefs. Thus, 240 chefs from 25 countries, representing 5 continents and 300 stars from the Michelin Guide will meet from the 16th till the 18th November 2012 in Monaco, for an unprecedented assembly. « The themes dearest to me are related to the Mediterranean, deeply rooted in the South, to the Riviera whose produce occupy a fundamental place in my culinary creations. I hold in my heart many other subjects, all speaking of authenticity, aesthetic and identity.
