Two generations of Tinars at the Market of Markets in Barcelona

“From generation to generation” was the theme of this year’s Market of Markets event in Barcelona, which we had the pleasure to take part in last weekend. The theme was chosen to highlight one of the distinctive features of trade in Catalonia, namely innovation and progress through continuity and the way in which companies surpass themselves as they pass from one generation to the next. We know a bit about this at Els Tinars. Our restaurant has always been a family affair, as we described in detail in our book “Tinars. The Taste for Tradition”, published by Planeta a year ago. And this was the theme of the talk given last Sunday by the father and son team of Eduard and Marc Gascons, second and third generations of a business founded by grandparents Elena and Sendo. “Our menu features dishes of traditional cuisine, which is what my father specialised in, alongside new dishes that give this traditional cuisine a modern twist, always using local, seasonal products”, explained Marc Gascons as he prepared two dishes in front of attendees at the event: Squid rebooted and a “Sea and Mountain” rice dish with pig’s trotters and Norway lobsters from Palamós. We hope the attendees enjoyed it as much as we did!
