Regional Series | 24 October Catalan Lunch

Final stop for this year’s Regional Series. ¡CATALUNYA!

Tucked between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, Catalunya is a part of Spain where the cooking has always looked outwards. Centuries of trade brought influences from France and Italy, and you still see them in the way Catalans cook today.

Think dishes like Fideuà, with its toasted noodles, and Mar i Muntanya, (Mountain and Sea) where cuttlefish and meatballs end up happily on the same plate. It makes sense when you look at the place. High mountains tumble down to the coast, and the food moves between the two.

For the last Regional Series lunch of the year, Frank has put together a menu celebrating the food of Catalunya, including a favourite from Barcelona’s La Boqueria market, while Tom from Alimentaria has chosen wines from the region to match. We’ll be serving the lot over a long Saturday lunch at MoVida AQUI on Bourke Street on 24 October.

¡A comer!
