They speak of their dishes, ingredients, techniques used in the design, and explain why the flavors, smells and textures of the dish marry well with the flavors, smells and textures of whiskeys. Include a guided tasting and tasting of tapas married with different whiskeys. It will be interesting to verify the result.
  • "Coca-Cola bajo Zero": Angel Corvitto, Oriol Balaguer and Dani Garcia will discuss the role of Coca-Cola in the development of small candy desktop at low temperature. The three chefs prepare recipes with Coca-Cola as the main ingredient. We will leave the typical recipe for Chicken Coca-Cola.
