French cuisine welcomes the re-encounter with open arms in an attempt to move forward together. On the last day of the conference, Joan Roca lists the French maestros who most influenced the beginnings of El Celler de Can Roca. ”Above all, the Troisgros, and also because they were brothers”.
French influence on gastronomy continued as the main feature on the second day of San Sebastian Gastronomika – Euskadi Basque Country, which also featured Jesús Sánchez, Pedro Subijana, Jordi Butrón and Frédéric Bau. Tomorrow Gastronomika closes its 23rd congress with Joan Roca and Virgilio Martínez, among others.
San Sebastián Gastronomika commences its 23rd edition paying tribute to Alain Ducasse. The legend, who seized the opportunity to provide the details of the restaurant he has just opened in Paris with Alber Adrià, has spoken in favour of a gastronomic union between France and Spain: “In the past they wanted to confront each other, but that has become obsolete”.
San Sebastian Gastronomika-Euskadi Basque Country, the world's oldest gastronomy congress, will be back from 15 to 17 November at the Kursaal in a format adapting to the new situation generated by the Covid-19 health crisis. The 23rd congress will focus on France, and usher in a new dialogue between French and Spanish cuisine.
Alain Ducasse will be taking the congress's Homage Award "for everything he has symbolised and symbolises on the international gastronomy scene”. The chef will make use of his talk in San Sebastián to provide details of the new restaurant he plans to open in Paris with Albert Adrià, who will also be on stage at the Kursaal.
