Óscar García will participate in the Andorra Taste
The head chef of the Baluarte restaurant, Óscar García Marina, will participate in the first edition of Andorra Taste on September 14 in an event that seeks to highlight Andorran cuisine and mountain cuisine from around the world. With the aim of showing his commitment to local cuisine, the person in charge of hosting this event will be the Grand Plaza Hotel & Wellness, which will act as one of the sponsors of the event. To do this, he will make his facilities available to Óscar García and the rest of the guests.
“For us it is an honor to be able to collaborate with this interesting initiative that is Andorra Taste. As a company of Andorran origin, we are delighted to be able to contribute to the dissemination of Andorran gastronomy and the products and experiences offered by the Principality. This type of events serve to put the focus on our country, and we want to join in very actively so that everyone can get to know Andorra at its best”, they point out from the Grand Plaza Hotel & Wellness.
The event is divided into two. The first part is dedicated to the professional field where the traditional and current gastronomy of Andorra will be merged with other types of high mountain cuisine. The second part, on the other hand, is focused on fans, where it will seek to bring Andorran and mountain cuisine closer to the public.
Óscar García is one of the Spanish chefs who will give a professional demonstration. Born in Vinuesa (Soria), he began to take his first steps in local cuisine at the Alvargonzález restaurant, where he worked for eleven years. At the end of 2008 they were together with his team starting their solo career and Baluarte opened its doors in the capital of Soria.
Currently, the chef has a Michelin star and two Suns from the Repsol Guide. Likewise, he was awarded as the Best Chef of Castilla y León 2013 and one of the twenty young Spanish chefs who stand out for their good culinary work. His presentation, “High-altitude cuisine in Baluarte, Soria. Reflection and execution”, will take place on September 14
