Jordi Vilà’s fricandó on ARTE

The original blog posts are written in Catalan; the Spanish and English translations are automatically generated.

A few months ago, our favourite chef, Jordi Vilà, took part in the culinary travel programme on ARTE “Voyage en cuisine”, championing Catalan cuisine and veal fricandó. You can watch the full programme at this link.

In the film you’ll see Jordi Vilà visit Cal Rovira (one of our great trusted producers) and then Soulblim (another one); you’ll see him cook the fricandó at alkimia and then serve it to a table of 5 very special guests invited for the occasion.

You’ll also see him talk about his philosophy, his beginnings as a chef and some anecdotes from his life.

“Just as a language is kept alive by speaking it, a cuisine is kept alive by cooking it” says Vilà. The film was made by journalist Karen Cassuto.

Many thanks to everyone who made it possible!!!
