Sant Pau, in Sant Pol De Mar ENGLISH EDITION Carme Ruscalleda’s culinary creations lie halfway between tradition and avant-garde. Her gastronomic discourse is expressed through constant dialogue with traditional recipes, which she reinterprets with boundless imagination and scrupulous respect for the ingredients. This allows her to keep their flavours sharp, ensuring their individual identity is not lost in the mix: it is the essence of Ruscalleda’s signature style, the thing that distinguishes her from all others. In the summer of 1988, Carme Ruscalleda and Toni Balam opened their restaurant, Sant Pau, in Sant Pol de Mar. In their 30 years there, they offered diners a selection of Catalan and universal cuisine inspired by recipes and ingredients from right outside their back door: El Maresme. When the Tokyo Sant Pau opened in 2004, Ruscalleda’s discourse started to incorporate ingredients, methods and concepts from other cultures, especially from Japan. In 2009, she opened the Moments restaurant in Barcelona, headed by Raül Balam, who adds an ironic and provocative touch to his mother’s cuisine. In autumn 2018, the Sant Pau in Sant Pol de Mar closed its doors to the public. Carme Ruscalleda continues to work at Cuina Estudi, a laboratory of ideas through which she expresses her commitment to society and to healthy, fun and transparent cuisine that is always in tune with its surroundings. Index 4 5 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 29 30 42 44 Family, shop, restaurant Carme Ruscalleda was born at Can Puig, a farmhouse on Carrer Nou in Sant Pol de Mar, in the region of El Maresme. Her family owned some farmland and a vineyard, as well as a yard where they raised chickens and rabbits. When she was very young, Ruscalleda developed a keen interest in cooking and by the age of 12 or 13 she was preparing the evening meal for the entire family. As she got older, her artistic inclinations led her to pursue a career in drawing, but studying Fine Arts at university was not a luxury the family could afford. In 1968, her father opened a small supermarket that included a butcher’s department. As she trained to become a pork butcher, Carme discovered that this meat allowed her to develop her creativity by inventing new types of traditional Catalan botifarra sausages, featuring two colours, cheese, and different types of meats and spices. In 1975, she married Toni Balam, who had grown up on the same street in a family of fishermen, and together the two transformed her parents’ shop into a delicatessen that became popular throughout the region. In addition to meat, it also had a fruit and vegetable section, more than fifty types of cheese, and a range of take-away meals that included croquettes, cannelloni, roast chicken, cod with samfaina (pepper, aubergine, tomato and onion stew), and fricandeau. One day Carme and Toni decided to open a small dining room above the shop. But no sooner had they started the refurbishment work (1987) when the opportunity arose to buy Hostal Sant Pau, an inn in a tower built in 1881, complete with a garden overlooking the sea on the other side of the street. Carme and Toni felt that the shop had reached its full potential, so, in the summer of 1988, Sant Pau opened its doors to the public. 4 1993 A motorway, 1988 a vineyard, From a shop good friends Both Toni and I wanted to 1990 and a car make my parents’ shop into one with a dining Commitment park room, so we opened up a 1989 1991 new space upstairs.

    REGIONS FOOD & DRINKS POLITICS & CULTURE TRAVEL ABOUT STORE Search PRINT SHARE TWEET EMAIL THE HEROES OF THE NEW BASQUE KITCHEN BY ANTHONY BOURDAIN ’m thinking about pears…” is how I imagine their conversations beginning. Late at night, the phone rings in the home of Juan “I Mari Arzak or Ferran Adrià, and the two friends, two of the greatest and most influential chefs in the world, talk about food, about concepts, ideas they are working on. They call each other for inspiration, to bounce ideas off each other, to imagine how they might next push Spanish cuisine forward, and then forward again. Adrià, of course, was the chef of the world-famous El Bulli in Catalonia, which was said to be the world’s best and most innovative restaurant until it closed in 2011. But Arzak, who runs his family’s eponymous restaurant in San Sebastian, was, in many ways, an even more important pioneer. Arzak grew up on the second floor of the same restaurant he still runs today, the third generation of Arzaks to work in what was then a traditional Basque kitchen. But in the 1970s, heavily influenced by the “nouvelle cuisine” of next-door France, he returned to become a transformative figure of the culinary landscape, helping to create a “nueva cocina vasca” that in turn inspired and influenced future generations of Basque and Spanish chefs. Ferran and Albert Adrià, Martin Berasetgui, Andoni Aduriz: these are just a few of the chefs who looked to Arzak as an example of the new possibilities. His daughter, Elena Arzak, joined her father in the kitchen after training abroad with Alain Ducasse and Pierre Gagniare, and is now considered one of the great chefs in the world in her own right.
