Talking about gastronomy is great fun for people who love food.
That’s why Barcelona Degusta has set up its Taste Agora section
for visitors, a place where large culinary shows will be staged
for as many as 450 participants
This year the Ágoras del Gusto have drawn their inspiration
from Simone Ortega, the post-Franco political transition period’s
main proponent of all things culinary who, through her recipes and
emblematic book 1,080 recetas de cocina (1,080 Recipes), has taught
three generations of Spaniards to cook. We have chosen to pay Ortega
a well-deserved tribute.
These culinary shows will revolve around ‘Foods from Spain’
and enjoy support from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Food. The programme will be enhanced with two events based on current
issues: ‘Functional Foods’ and ‘Cuisine, Today and
Tomorrow’.
