This Sunday May 7, the renowned chefs of Dos Cielos restaurant (a Michelin star) have made their perfect pairing with golf conquering the palates of the members of Real Club de Golf el Prat in the II Gastronomic Conference organized by the Club.
The menu they have prepared for this occasion has been as an aperitif tamarindo polviho and miso with winter tomatoes served with Cava Touch of rosé Perelada, Royal asparagus, smoked eel and roe, peas with Iberian ham sauce with Fransola wine, kid’s milk shoulder, garlic, anchovies and cherries with Tionio 2014 wine. A menu defined as «simple but with top quality products».
The presentation of the event was given by the President of the Club, Federico Montllonch and Josep Maria Sanclimens recognized expert in gastronomy and member of 5 taula who has made a tour on the brilliant trajectory of the Torres brothers.
Twins, chefs, writers, presenters, businessmen… but, above all, they are Dos Cielos, which is what their grandmother Catalina called them as children, and the name of the restaurant that propelled them to the top of gastronomy. Brothers Javier and Sergio Torres discovered the art of cooking with Catalina, their grandmother, and learned from Josep Lladonosa.
Great chefs such as Santi Santamaria, Jean Louis Neichel, Alain Ducasse and Pedro Subijana welcomed them in their kitchens, where each brother developed his own technique separately. In 2002 they decided to join as chef-partners in El Rodat de Jávea. Six years later, in 2008, they would achieve one of their most precious dreams: to open their own restaurant, which they christened Dos Cielos. And they did it on the 24th floor of the Hotel Melià Barcelona Sky, then ME. In just two years, the Torres brothers won their first Michelin star. They have written books, presented audiovisual programmes and opened new restaurants. RCGP members have had the opportunity to enjoy the unique creations of the Torres brothers in a menu prepared exclusively for this occasion.
The Real Club de Golf El Prat in its mission to unite the sport of golf with Barcelona’s social life, has managed to fix the Gastronomic Conference in its annual social agenda.
