Catalan cuisine is not a coincidental element of our culture. It is a dynamic component because it accumulates a long, historic progression. It is a reference because it enjoys a common energy, an every-day practice and an undisputable willingness to evolve. This makes our gastronomy a legacy that we can undeniably consider as legitimate and our own.
Catalan cooking is a legacy with a generous and noble past. Therefore, it must be observed from distant, historical reference points, and its recognition must include a clear and explicit look towards the future. This requires an attention that must be contemplated as indispensable and fundamental.
