CATALAN… by environment, culture and tradition.
The customer who comes to Sant Pau is looking for cuisine with a decided Catalan influence. "Our culinary culture and tradition," Carme explains, "have always combined sweet and savory, fish and meat, dried and fresh fruits, hot and cold, vegetables and fruits. This very broad and open-ended understanding of food allowed me to set out in search of a cuisine that is both complex and balanced." The dishes that emerge from her kitchen show a great sensitivity: pure, translucent and flavorful, with textures, tastes and aromas that reveal a personal style distinct from anyone else's.

For Carme, cooking can never be something mechanical: it must always aim at providing gastronomic pleasure. It starts with the selection of the product, continues with its preparation, handling and cutting, and requires knowing precisely when to stop the cooking in order to retain all the flavors. Above all, the whole process must always be carried out with careful attention, in clean, neat conditions, and with clear ideas in mind.

Cooking is also a kind of fusion, a bridge that reaches out to different cultures without losing its own identity. But free artistic expression needs to be backed by a guiding spirit based on intelligence, technical mastery and good taste - qualities necessary to every cook. To work successfully in this profession is not a question of the creators' sex, but of their artistic genius.
