Cadaqués, su obra maestra, está ubicada en el barrio colonial de <span style="font-style: italic;">Usaquén</span> en <span style="font-style: italic;">Bogotá</span>, la capital de <span style="font-style: italic;">Colombia</span>, y es el resultado de años de <span style="font-weight: bold;">estudio</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">dedicación</span> y metas alcanzadas.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Roesel</span> tuvo el privilegio de estudiar en la <span style="font-style: italic;">Escuela de Cocina Hofmann</span> en <span style="font-style: italic;">Barcelona, España</span>, en donde disfrutó aprender de <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chefs</span> reconocidos mundialmente como <span style="font-style: italic;">Ferrán Adrià, Juan Mari Arzak, Jordi Herrera </span>y<span style="font-style: italic;"> Joan Roca</span>, entre otros.<br /><br />Cadaqués tiene un sello muy representativo de <span style="font-style: italic;">Cataluña</span>, y su <span style="font-weight: bold;">gastronomía</span> viaja alrededor de <span style="font-weight: bold;">sabores</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">texturas</span>, y platos de la cocina <span style="font-style: italic;">Mediterránea</span> con terminados <span style="font-weight: bold;">avant-garde</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Rodrigo</span> es el <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chef Ejecutivo </span>y propietario de Cadaqués, un restaurante encantador y lleno de energías artísticas. Sus técnicas <span style="font-weight: bold;">avant-garde</span> están plasmadas en todas sus obras de arte. La <span style="font-weight: bold;">cocina al vacío</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">espumas</span> creadas por aire comprimido mediante cargas de <span style="font-weight: bold;">Óxido Nitroso</span>, gelatinas, congelación con <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nitrógeno líquido</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">soplete</span>, y la parrilla de clavos <span style="font-style: italic;">Fakircook</span> creada y diseñada por el reconocido <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chef Español</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Jordi Herrera</span>, son algunos de los encantos de Cadaqués.<br /><br />Su espacio está distribuído adecuadamente porque logra el <span style="font-weight: bold;">minimalismo</span> vanguardista de pocas mesas, decoración sencilla e imponente con contrastes de colores fuertes, que al mismo tiempo crean distintos <span style="font-weight: bold;">ambientes</span>.<br /><br />Cadaqués tiene un excelente servicio al cliente. Desde la puerta, los comensales son bienvenidos alegremente y el equipo del <span style="font-weight: bold;">Frente de la Casa</span> está organizado para lograr que todos disfruten de un rato inolvidable.<br /><br />La carta del menú es un viaje corto por el <span style="font-style: italic;">Mediterráneo Catalán,</span> pero encantador porque ofrece <span style="font-weight: bold;">sabores</span> y <span style="font-weight: bold;">texturas</span> sorprendentes.<br /><br />El <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chef</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Rodrigo</span> no solo trabaja en la cocina y en la creación de nuevas obras de arte, sino también comparte con sus comensales. Cuando <span style="font-style: italic;">Ecocozina</span> visitó Cadaqués, <span style="font-style: italic;">Rodrigo</span> estaba presente y tuvo la gran oportunidad de hablar con el.<br /><br />El viaje costero inició con un detalle especial de parte de la cocina para la mesa. Una cuchara que llevaba el maridaje de un <span style="font-weight: bold;">tomate cerezo</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">jugoso</span> con <span style="font-weight: bold;">espuma</span> de <span style="font-weight: bold;">albahaca</span>. De un solo bocado sentimos la combinación de <span style="font-weight: bold;">texturas</span> y <span style="font-weight: bold;">sabores</span> que se aguaron lentamente en la boca. La entradita abrió nuestro apetito y nos preparó para una botella de vino,<span style="font-style: italic;"> Crianza 2004 de Rioja, España</span>.<br /><br />Siguiendo las excelentes recomendaciones del <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chef</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Ecocozina</span> escogió las obras para el viaje <span style="font-weight: bold;">vanguardista</span>. La <span style="font-style: italic;">Crema de Berenjena </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">ahumada</span> llegó a la mesa en una copa de Martini. El <span style="font-weight: bold;">frente de la casa</span> trajo una pequeña nevera con <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nitrógeno</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">líquido</span> para la congelación de las <span style="font-weight: bold;">almendras</span>, y <span style="font-weight: bold;">artísticamente</span> las colocaron en la copa para crear un juego de temperaturas de frío y calor en la boca de cada uno.<br /><br />Los <span style="font-style: italic;">Raviolis Cadaqués</span> demostraron la <span style="font-weight: bold;">creatividad</span> de <span style="font-style: italic;">Rodrigo</span> en crear unos “<span style="font-style: italic;">Raviolis</span>” de <span style="font-weight: bold;">camarones</span> rellenos de <span style="font-weight: bold;">hongos</span> con salsas de <span style="font-weight: bold;">sabores exóticos</span>, y acompañado de una mini <span style="font-weight: bold;">ensalada</span> de <span style="font-weight: bold;">tomate</span> en cubitos y <span style="font-weight: bold;">zanahoria</span> en astillitas.<br /><br />Como platos fuertes, disfrutamos el <span style="font-style: italic;">Cochinillo Confitado y Crujiente </span>con 12 horas de cocción a 72 grados centígrados. Su carne estaba jugosa y llena de sabor. Éste vino acompañado de una papa dorada en forma de cubo con un <span style="font-weight: bold;">puré</span> de arvejas y <span style="font-weight: bold;">espárragos frescos</span>, delicioso.<br /><br />El <span style="font-style: italic;">Cordero</span> es otro con corona. Estaba acompañado de <span style="font-weight: bold;">espárragos, calabacín, tomates, pimentones rojos, remolacha, y zucchini </span>a la<span style="font-weight: bold;"> parrilla</span>.<br /><br />Y el <span style="font-style: italic;">Pescado al Estilo Cataluña</span> ofreció el pescado del día a la <span style="font-weight: bold;">parrilla</span> sobre <span style="font-weight: bold;">papas</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">sofrito</span> y vino blanco. Estaba acompañado con <span style="font-weight: bold;">tomates</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">espárragos</span> y una <span style="font-weight: bold;">espuma de curry</span>. Además, fue servido con un delicioso caldo, al estilo de <span style="font-style: italic;">Costa Brava</span>.<br /><br />Cadaqués mostró los estándares altos de la gastronomía en <span style="font-style: italic;">Bogotá</span>. Necesitamos más <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chefs</span> como <span style="font-style: italic;">Rodrigo</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">apasionados por la cocina artística y creativa, y responsables por educar a la sociedad y liderar cambios para comportamientos alimenticios más saludables y sostenibles.</span> Cadaqués ofrece <span style="font-weight: bold;">pasantías</span> para estudiantes en carreras profesionales.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3379280297973241139-3032423029931719814?l=www.ecocozina.com'/></div>Carolina Daza Carreñohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09038145221997817032ecocozina@gmail.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379280297973241139.post-60262611372854410702009-02-26T13:08:00.000-08:002009-03-03T08:19:28.401-08:00Peperoncini<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dx61ubBzemg/SaXWAK0xkMI/AAAAAAAAAtE/_ssG2kILRkQ/s1600-h/peperon1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306883034320048322" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 226px; cursor: pointer; height: 114px;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dx61ubBzemg/SaXWAK0xkMI/AAAAAAAAAtE/_ssG2kILRkQ/s320/peperon1.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">E</span>-nvironment: Fresh, colorful<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">C</span>-ost: $$<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">O</span>-riginality: Cartooch art, tropical-modern decoration<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CO©INA</span>: Italian-Japanese<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.peperoncinipanama.com">www.peperoncinipanama.com<br /></a><br />ENGLISH<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Giselle Borell</span> is Peperoncini’s <span style="font-weight: bold;">artist</span>.

Su ambiente tiene un sello único por el uso del blanco contrastando con un naranja intenso, y su <span style="font-weight: bold;">creatividad</span> con gusto <span style="font-weight: bold;">tropical</span> se ve plasmado en sus espacios. La ubicación en <span style="font-style: italic;">Bella Vista</span>, centro económico de la <span style="font-style: italic;">Ciudad de</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Panamá</span>, hace que Peperoncini sea uno de los restaurantes más visitados de la ciudad con excelente servicio a sus visitantes.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Chef Borell</span> diseñó la <span style="font-weight: bold;">cocina</span> de Peperoncini como una <span style="font-weight: bold;">fusión exquisita</span> de la <span style="font-weight: bold;">gastronomía</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Italiana</span> y <span style="font-style: italic;">Japonesa</span>. Curiosamente, su nombre denomina una variedad de especies <span style="font-style: italic;">Capsicum</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">annuum</span> como ajís, chiles, o pimentones. El peperoncini es un ingrediente muy valorado en la <span style="font-weight: bold;">gastronomía </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Italiana</span> como una <span style="font-weight: bold;">especie picante</span> para el <span style="font-style: italic;">Antipasto</span> y algunas salsas.<br /><br />Su menú ofrece una variedad de entradas tales como:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Berenjenas Centenarias</span>, berenjenas asimilando una canoa con camarones delicadamente gratinados, salsa de tomate natural, sobre corazones de lechuga romana; una combinación perfecta.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Recuerdo de</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Okinawa</span>, Rosas crujientes acompañadas de salsa de naranja agridulce<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Wantones Pescador</span>, Rollitos crujientes rellenos de pasta de marisco y acompañados con salsa de naranja agridulce<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Tres Opciones de un Delicioso Carpaccio</span>, carpaccio de res bañado en aceite de oliva puro, acompañado de queso Italiano suave<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Antipasto Romano</span>, pimentones rellenos de queso derretido, tomate y albahaca, bañados en balsámico<br /><br />También ofrece una variedad de platos fuertes tales como:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">El Más Pedido</span>, Tagliatelli bañados en salsa de tomate fresca, lomo de res con queso Italiano y lechuga romana<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">El Favorito de David</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Mi amiga Jacinta</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Estilo de la Condesa</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Fue Pinocho</span><br /><br />Y postres tales como:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Súplica del Chimpancé</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Maná de Limón</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Caliente Locura de Pecans</span>, espectacular torta <span style="font-weight: bold;">casera</span> de pacanas caliente con helado de<br />vainilla frío y suave<br /><br />Cada plato lleva un nombre que parece contar una gran historia.

La mayoría son <span style="font-style: italic;">Italianos</span>, aunque la carta ofrece una lista de rollos de sushi al final que no se armonizan ni con el ambiente del restaurante, ni con la carta de vinos.<br /><br />Peperoncini debería expresar mejor la <span style="font-weight: bold;">fusión</span> que crea sus obras de arte, o más bien debería limitarse a una sola <span style="font-weight: bold;">gastronomía</span>.

Manolo Caracol sobresale por mantener <span style="font-weight: bold;">estándares de sostenibilidad ambiental</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">arte creativo</span>, y decoración <span style="font-weight: bold;">tropical</span> para cualquier <span style="font-weight: bold;">amante</span> de la <span style="font-weight: bold;">gastronomía</span>.<br /><br />Manolo Caracol abre sus puertas para <span style="font-weight: bold;">encantar</span> el paladar de todos los que visitan con un <span style="font-style: italic;">Menú Ecléctico</span> diseñado por el Español <span style="font-style: italic;">Manuel Maduéno</span>, chef y dueño, a <span style="font-weight: bold;">diario</span> e <span style="font-weight: bold;">inspirado</span> en <span style="font-weight: bold;">ingredientes frescos</span> disponibles en el <span style="font-weight: bold;">mercado local</span>.<br /><br />Con un servicio excelente, su <span style="font-weight: bold;">cocina</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> tropical</span> seduce el apetito de muchos extranjeros. Como entraditas, los <span style="font-weight: bold;">Platanitos</span> crocantes y saladitos acompañados de una salsa de <span style="font-weight: bold;">aguacate</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">casera</span> son deliciosos.<br /><br />El menú normalmente suma 12-13 <span style="font-weight: bold;">platillos</span> para <span style="font-weight: bold;">compartir</span> en grupo. Los dos primeros, <span style="font-style: italic;">Ceviches de Pulpo y Corvina</span> son espectaculares y muy provocativos.<br /><br />Dos ensaladas de <span style="font-weight: bold;">texturas</span> y vinagretas distintas fueron ofrecidas para acompañar los platillos de mar. La de <span style="font-style: italic;">Hojas de Mostaza</span> en <span style="font-weight: bold;">reducción</span> de salsa de soya estuvo perfecta para cortar algunos sabores, pero lamentablemente la otra llamada <span style="font-style: italic;">Media Cesar</span> estuvo sazonada con mucha sal y pimienta, perdió el encanto en la mesa.<br /><br />Las <span style="font-style: italic;">Almejas</span> bañadas en salsa de <span style="font-weight: bold;">perejil</span> estuvieron espectaculares por su frescura.El <span style="font-style: italic;">Escabeche de Cojinúa</span> a la plancha doradito con finas tajadas de <span style="font-weight: bold;">pimentón rojo</span> y <span style="font-weight: bold;">cebolla</span>, es un encanto. Un platico azul similar a una canoa llegó a la mesa de manera <span style="font-weight: bold;">coqueta</span> con el pez <span style="font-style: italic;">Dorado</span> a la plancha en <span style="font-weight: bold;">salsa criolla</span> con <span style="font-weight: bold;">cilantro</span>. Soprendentemente, siguieron llegando <span style="font-weight: bold;">platillos exóticos</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">frescos</span>, y muy <span style="font-weight: bold;">deleitantes</span>.<br /><br />Los <span style="font-style: italic;">Langostinos</span> con salsa de <span style="font-weight: bold;">dátiles</span> fueron un encanto absoluto por sus texturas y suaves sabores.Después de varias <span style="font-weight: bold;">especies</span> del <span style="font-weight: bold;">mar</span>, apareció el <span style="font-weight: bold;">tradicional</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Arroz con Coco </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">costeño</span>, con un sabor <span style="font-weight: bold;">espectacular</span> y <span style="font-weight: bold;">exótico</span>, proveniente del <span style="font-weight: bold;">coco natural</span>.<br /><br />Al parecer, solamente habían sido traídas las entradas a la mesa, y el plato fuerte llegaría a continuación. Para cualquiera parecerían las entradas muy pequeñas, pero en ese momento el apetito de la mesa ya estaba totalmente <span style="font-weight: bold;">encantado</span> y sólo faltaba el toque <span style="font-weight: bold;">endulzante</span>.<br /><br />De repente, medallones de <span style="font-style: italic;">Cerdo</span> bañados en <span style="font-weight: bold;">reducción de naranja</span> llegaron a la mesa. El sabor estaba delicioso y muy adecuado, pero ya toda la mesa estaba llena. Seguidamente, apareció un platillo de <span style="font-style: italic;">Pato</span> en <span style="font-weight: bold;">salsa criolla</span> con <span style="font-weight: bold;">tomate</span> y <span style="font-weight: bold;">cebolla</span>. En ese momento la mesa concluyó que los últimos dos platillos sobraban, especialmente porque no seguían el mismo <span style="font-weight: bold;">estándar</span> de <span style="font-weight: bold;">delicadeza</span> en los <span style="font-weight: bold;">sabores</span>, ni el <span style="font-weight: bold;">encanto</span> del <span style="font-weight: bold;">mar</span>.<br /><br />El toque endulzado de la noche dejó a todos sin palabras. Éste era un platillo con un pedacito del <span style="font-weight: bold;">auténtico Flan de Caramelo</span>, un trozo de <span style="font-weight: bold;">Piña</span>, fruta descrita en los individuales y con una receta de <span style="font-style: italic;">Jalea</span>, y acompañado con una <span style="font-weight: bold;">arómatica</span> calientita y perfecta para concluir una experiencia <span style="font-weight: bold;">increíble</span> en la<span style="font-style: italic;"> Ciudad de Panamá</span>.<br /><br />Manolo Caracol logra un <span style="font-weight: bold;">ambiente ideal</span> en donde el <span style="font-weight: bold;">arte</span> brota por todos sus rincones. La decoración es <span style="font-weight: bold;">puntual</span>, muy <span style="font-weight: bold;">sencilla</span>, y con un toque <span style="font-weight: bold;">rústico</span> y <span style="font-weight: bold;">delicado</span> a la misma vez.<br /><br />Manolo es una experiencia <span style="font-weight: bold;">100% recomendada </span>para cualquier paladar en búsqueda de sabores <span style="font-weight: bold;">auténticos</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">frescos</span>, y <span style="font-weight: bold;">exquisitos</span>. Todo su encanto gira alrededor de la riqueza en el <span style="font-weight: bold;">arte culinario</span> a base de <span style="font-weight: bold;">productos frescos</span> del <span style="font-weight: bold;">mercado local</span>. <span style="font-style: italic;">Manuel Madueño</span> no sólo hace una <span style="font-weight: bold;">diferencia cultural</span> grandísima, sino también una <span style="font-weight: bold;">económica,</span> ya que apoya todo lo <span style="font-weight: bold;">local</span>, especialmente a <span style="font-weight: bold;">pescadores artesanales</span> y <span style="font-weight: bold;">pequeños productores</span>. Manolo tiene mucho <span style="font-weight: bold;">potencial</span> para <span style="font-weight: bold;">educar</span> a la <span style="font-weight: bold;">sociedad</span> sobre <span style="font-weight: bold;">comportamientos alimenticios saludables</span>, y <span style="font-weight: bold;">apoyo </span>a la <span style="font-weight: bold;">economía local</span>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.manolocaracol.net">www.manolocaracol.net</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3379280297973241139-5027292791238570851?l=www.ecocozina.com'/></div>Carolina Daza Carreñohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09038145221997817032ecocozina@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379280297973241139.post-14756174327299240332008-12-08T16:13:00.001-08:002008-12-11T13:00:10.820-08:00Minibar by José Andrés<span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >Llegar al teatro a ver una de las obras más esperadas del año, es p</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >ara muchos una de las experiencias más </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >deleitantes</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" > en la vida.

Además de participar en todos los <span style="font-style: italic;">FreshFarm Markets</span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">mercados orgánicos </span>de la ciudad, Dolcezza vende a restaurantes y establecimientos de comida.
