| What's
Cooking? |
 |
 |
|
I've always had grand ambitions of entertaining people - like some kind of younger and hipper Martha Stewart, whipping up cookery-book worthy Sunday dinners at home. It really is the ultimate show-off of one's forward-planning skills. |
|
Of
course, come Sunday, all I'll have in the fridge will
be a flat bottle of cava and two eggs ready to hatch.
Hunger never saw bad bread, they say. But rather than
test that theory, I've learnt to rely on Paco Guzmán,
El Bulli-alumnus and patron of gastro-tapas joint Santa
Maria.
At his second restaurant, called simply Santa, the
'Nothing in the Fridge' Sunday menu of just EUR 20 offers
the perfect alternative to Telepizza. The minimalist
interior may be by Alfons Tost (also responsible for
Espai Sucre, Comerç
24 and Monvínic)
but the atmosphere is comfortably laid back and the
space large enough for groups. |
|
Book a table on the cosier second floor, and act out your hostess fantasies right there. The only planning required for this is a mere phone call. That even I can manage.
