Considered one of the most important cooks in Catalonia, Carme Ruscalleda reviews her journey in this exhibition that is open until September 29

After two exhibitions dedicated to Ferran Adrià and the Roca Brothers, the Palau Robert in Barcelona currently hosts «Carme Ruscalleda, the essence of taste», curated by Anna Alberni. Deulonder fervently recommends the visit, because it gives a broad perspective of his vision of the kitchen, at the same time as his professional career, planted with successes. He also deepens in his vision of the kitchen, with which the team of Deulonder, Lluïsa Deulonder and Chone de la Sotilla, coincide totally. «The kitchen is product, knowledge, respect and good taste», says Ruscalleda. «The history of gastronomy is the history of the world», or «to cook, there is an ingredient that does not sell anywhere: the illusion», a series of statements that fully subscribe to the two interior designers.

 

 

The exhibition is on the second floor of the Palau Robert in Barcelona.

The tour begins with the origins of the Ruscalleda family, who had a farmhouse on Calle Nueva in Sant Pol de Mar, in the Maresme. Carme grew up surrounded by animals, an orchard and some vines, and as a child she became interested in the kitchen. In 1968 his father opened a small supermarket with butcher shop. It is this establishment that the cook, once married to Toni Balam, transformed into a regional delicatessen. First they decided to open a small dining room above the grocery store. But they just got the opportunity to buy the hostel Sant Pau, a tower from 1881 with a garden facing the sea. This is how the restaurant Sant Pau was born in 1988. From then on, Carme Ruscalleda’s fame grows until, after only three years, she receives the first Michelin star.


Renowned for its peculiar style, Carme Ruscalleda has always claimed traditional homemade cuisine made with the best quality ingredients and local. «I am interested in the usual kitchen and luck that the grandmothers have maintained it, the mothers have respected it and we must make it known,» he says in a television interview. Channeled in reverse: «I had the idea of ​​turning as an average a plate of gutters Visually, the plate is totally the inverse of what the tradition commands, it is only recognized once in the mouth, I think that, if you propose, the kitchen can be a means of artistic expression, but we can not We forget that it is an art to eat! «
