Spanish and Cooking:
San Sebastian has the highest number of Michelin Stars per square meter of the planet, although the entire Basque Country offers any amount of opportunities to delight the palate, whether in the big restaurants or in the more modest establishments.
The Basque Country was already internationally famous for its delicious traditional cuisine when a group of new chefs decided to take a number of these dishes and renew them on the basis of their imagination. This movement, which was soon to become known as Basque nouvelle cuisine, was established in the mid-70's by a series of young chefs whose point of reference was the French cookery of the same name.
Today, those young chefs are maestros of renowned prestige, whose creativity falls under the title of so-called ‘author cuisine’. Despite their high social standing, the top restaurants still lead a surprisingly practical life. It’s not unusual to see any of these figures of world wide renown in the gastronomic field doing their own shopping at the market, passing on some of their recipes in the media or rubbing elbows at the cookery schools with the new generations or restaurants, with an end to ensuring the continuity of this delicious new gastronomy San Sebastian is the heart of famous Spanish culinary.
