Widely associated with avant-garde gastronomy and lavish food
markets, Barcelona has become a top destination for gourmands and
chefs around the world, especially after the spectacular rise of
chef Ferran Adrià of the famed elBulli, soon to be reborn as
elBulli1846. Barcelona is a city that attracts millions of visitors
in search of art and culinary experiences while cookery apprentices
from around the world arrive looking to perfect their skills and
expand their gastronomic horizon. The city offers an unequaled
combination of restaurants, chefs, restauranteurs, media and local
government initiatives to help those who arrive seeking an
extraordinary culinary experience. But how has the city established
itself as a global culinary referent while becoming synonymous with
cutting-edge cuisine? This book narrates Barcelona’s urban and
culinary development from the Middle Ages to the present, tracing
the origins and the growth of the culinary prestige of this part of
Catalonia. Barcelona has been a cosmopolitan center since the 1700s
because of its location and busy port. The city has always been
well supplied with food, and its residents built a strong culinary
tradition enlivened by its contact with other cuisines and novel
products afforded by its geographic location and the people who
migrated to the area. With literature, painting, music and
architecture, cooking has been a crucial activity in creating and
maintaining a Catalan identity. Past, present and future visitors
of the city will find a fascinating history of the unforgettable
culinary importance of one of the most popular cities of Spain.
