“Catalan cooking is, and will be,
At alkimia, under the leadership of chef Jordi Vilà, our style of cooking digs deep into the past, present and future of Catalan gastronomy. Exploring the entire range of our culinary landscape, from the center to the margins, we are both grounded in tradition and open to embracing the most radical contemporary ideas.
When thinking about alkimia’s cooking, we always place value on the moment, that fleeting instant in which the secret of each dish is revealed.
Cooking is a journey, an expedition that can be undertaken in only one way: cooking.

The Catalan Cuisine Self-Defence Manual
For some time now, many of us cooks who are deeply rooted in the rich tradition of Catalan cuisine have been sounding the alarm: our cuisine is at risk. Globalization, the triumph of big industry, and cultural shifts pulling us further away from our kitchens… there’s a real sense in the air that an era is coming to an end. These are challenging times for the world — and for our cuisine.
With a rebellious, defiant, and determined spirit, we present our *Catalan Cuisine Self-Defense Manual*. A piece that aims to be both a wake-up call and a kind of manifesto — but also a celebration of Catalan cuisine and all it has contributed to gastronomy.
Inside, you’ll find 9 figures, each accompanied by an argument that anyone who wants to stand up for Catalan cuisine should know. If social conversations — the ones that shape decisions — are dominated by those who control the narrative, we’ve looked for a way to insert these nine ideas into the narrative around gastronomy. In a fun, bold, and above all, unashamed way. ; )
Cuina, cuina i més Cuina!!!
Merchandise
You can get the poster (€16), the T-shirt (€17), or the mug (€12) from the Manual of Self-Defense of Catalan Cuisine at the restaurants Alkimia, Alkostat, Vivanda, and at the takeaway food shop Va de Cuina.
Awards
The best recognition is from the diners who sit at our table.
However, why not also remember, celebrate, and, of course, express our gratitude for the acknowledgments from the most renowned gastronomic guides? ; ) (learn more)
