Why gastronomical experience has become very important than ever before ? Gastronomy isn't just about food—it's an immersive journey blending culture, history, and creativity. As we seek authenticity and connection, dining experiences offer a profound way to explore new perspectives and celebrate diversity. From farm-to-table movements to global fusion cuisines, our culinary choices reflect our values and aspirations. Engaging all senses, gastronomy transforms meals into memorable narratives, fostering meaningful connections and enriching our lives. Now more than ever, it's not just what we eat, but the stories and experiences that nourish our souls.

Mitjans go for tapas in Denmark, January 2025. One of the key hallmarks of Spanish gastronomy is the “tapas” culture. Tapas are, originally,  small portions of food served in bars to pair with a drink. In Spain it is very common to go for tapas: a tradition that consists of going from bar to bar with friends to eat and drink (usually beer or wine). The origin of this tradition is unclear and there are different explanations. Some believe that it was born out of the economic interest of the owners of the taverns, who offered salty food (for example, ham) so that the customer would order more drinks. Whatever the origin is, tapas are known all over the world and are an essential element of Spanish culture. At Mitjans, we have enhanced this gastronomic treasure and offered it, with a high acceptance in markets such as the Danish one. Look at the extensive selection of tapas on offer at Copehangen, and how proud we are in our company to be a part of it. MENY Danmark

Episode 81: Meyhanes hold a special place in Turkish culinary culture, serving as more than just places to eat and drink. Traditionally, they are social hubs where people gather to share stories, critique life, and offer support to one another. The focus is not on heavy meals but on small plates of meze–a cornerstone of Turkish cuisine, reflecting the country’s rich cultural tapestry. Meyhanes also embody the spirit of communal dining, where the experience is as much about the conversation as it is about the food. The ambiance is typically modest, with soft music playing in the background, allowing for meaningful interactions. Over time, meyhanes have evolved, but they remain a vital part of Turkey’s social and culinary landscape, preserving traditions while adapting to modern tastes. They are places where history, culture, and gastronomy converge, making them integral to Turkey’s rich culinary heritage. https://lnkd.in/dwHdW46d

Sometimes (a lot of times 😉) the best thing a chef can do is just leave an ingredient alone and let it be. There's infinite ways to lose ourselves into the complexity that gastronomy offers and that's definitely an activity we like spending time on within the CERVINO team. But gastronomy is more about conquering the heart, than impressing the mind. Technical advancement is amusing. I have noticed however, that complexity often times clouds the story that an ingredient or a dish has to tell us. Keeping things simple, resisting the urge the change it's characteristics and ampliyfing it's strengths by shining light on it's true nature really is a beautiful way to let it speak to us the way it's suppose to. This is one of the philosophies the CERVINO team kept leading in designing the menu for our upcoming pop-up gastronomy experience named "under the italian sun" - a 5 course luxury menu inspired by memories and experiences under the italian sun. A gastronomic journey beyond the palate through my origin country. A journey that shines light on my favorite ingredients and captures them in their true nature.
