Pro Gastronomía Balear '09 - The world is introduced to New Balearic Gastronomy


The first event of the Pro Gastronomía Balear 09 movement which will travel to the conference Lo Mejor de la Gastronomía (The best of Gastronomy) in San Sebastian at the end of November was presented at the Son Termens Estate. More than 50 professionals from the world of Balearic gastronomy will be traveling to the conference, considered one of the most important gastronomic events in Europe with Mallorca A la Carta and the Association of Balearic Gastronomy.

Those assisting the presentation were able to taste 15 of the thirty tapas dishes which will be presented during an official dinner at the prestigious conference. The tapas dishes have been created by 15 of the most talented Chefs of the Balearics all of whom will travel to the conference in San Sebastian to represent New Balearic cuisine at its best.

This will be the first time ever that the Balearic Islands have enjoyed such an significant representation at this international conference and the star studded group of ambassadors hope to promote new Balearic cuisine, the islands as a gastronomic destination and the richness of autochthonous products it is home to.
