Sustainability is a word lost in intentions. We believe that to be really sustainable we can’t only focus on our restaurant, instead we also focus in our community, our Artisans and in our region. With Sustainable Construction, Regenerative Farming and Resource Management we aren’t only regenerating this land but also this community that was long lost and forgotten. We commune all of this in an innovative way to create a unique dish where we represent all of our work.

The dish represents my whole essence as a cook and as a person. It evokes my Italian-Granadian roots. It is a journey through the 5 senses that reflects my culinary maturity learned so far. At the same time, it aims to show diners the values that represent my cuisine. Love for the profession, respect for the raw material and sustainability with the environment.

My dream as a chef is nothing more than to be able to take my island to the highest level of gastronomy, being happy along the way. I have expressed it in this dish, using figs, lactose and corn, which is what the pigeon feeds on during its life, making 100% use of it and accompanying it with the three most typical plants of the island, which are fennel, rosemary and salicornia. With this dish I want to show that with a few simple ingredients and your own roots you can achieve a dish of great quality.

The dish idea combines Spain and Italy's linguistic and cultural ties, rich in shared elements I value. I'll merge Spanish stewed tongue with Italian cold tongue, reflecting my veggie passion. Ingredients like salsify, watercress, wild plants, and roots will be preserved, enhancing the dish and fostering a connection with nature.

The dish tries to capture the work philosophy that characterises me in its maximum expression, for this I base it on a traditional stew from Valencia called "All i pebre", always the cuisine of my territory by flag, but drinking from other cultures to enrich the elaborations, in this case with Mexican influence with the mole, the nixtamalisation as an ancestral technique applied to the current cuisine. In short, this dish conveys tradition from a modern perspective of respect for our roots.

With my signature dish I would like to try to tell you judges my story, from my Sicilian origins and what I have learnt these past two years in Spain. Precisely in this dish I have tried to find a marriage between my homeland and Spain, taking a wild meat much used in Spain, and some Sicilian elements that I prefer, which bring back so many beautiful memories linked to my family, because in the end what I love when I cook is to remember.

The origin of the techniques and flavours of this dish come from the city where my surname comes from, from an emblematic family who to this day represent historical flavours and maintain their roots, and above all from the great use that this region has made for centuries of the natural resources of its geography, such as rivers and countryside, where they ate from their own vegetable garden. This is a tribute to them.

I chose this dish because it reflects my roots and the story of a cuisine built on resourcefulness and memory. The sausage represents popular tradition, while galantine, born in France and once served at royal tables, brings technique and elegance. As a Madrid native working at El Bohío, I wanted to pay tribute to Madrid and Castilla-La Mancha through a dish full of identity and emotion.

500 characters are less than I imagined so I'm retyping everything and trying to be shorter I want to say with this dish that "tutto il mondo è paese" because from an idea of an italian dish (risotto ai frutti di mare), using spanish and mexican products and preparation I'm making a dish that is present in a different way in the three countries (arroz a la tumbada in mexico and paella de mariscos in spain).
As well I choose to use bivalves and seaweed because they are sustainable products.

Through this dish, I want to reflect the ecosystem that shapes us. Madrid, a city without a sea, is built through the constant exchange of people, cultures and ideas. Inspired by this, each element of the dish interacts with the others through colour, texture and flavour, creating a living system in balance. By using the fish in its entirety and combining diverse influences, I aim to express how connection, respect and collaboration can shape a more meaningful future for gastronomy.

Kitchen and gastronomy are my life since I was young. I move to Açores , I fell in love with the gastronomy of the region and I want to try to bring and mix the oldest traditions with new technics, new vision with my personal touch , in this way I hope to put Açores gastronomy in the map , be a reference in the culinary world . Must part of the ingredients are local.
I would like to contribute , so that traditions are not forgotten, preserve and promote the azorean traditions

This dish is inspired by the Sierra Norte of Madrid, a rugged mountain region shaped by sheep farming, cereals and pine forests. Using young lamb and seasonal ingredients, it expresses landscape, memory and a sense of place through a contemporary approach. Each element reflects a different aspect of the region: smoke, fresh herbs, the mountains and the respectful use of every part of the animal.

The dish is a representation of my origins, I don't have a Spanish culinary tradition because my mother was born in Venezuela, and my father in Germany, although my grandparents and I are Andalusian.
I express in this gastronomic representation what I consider to be my causalities, the origin of my parents has had a direct effect on my concept of gastronomic culture.
There are three culinary elaborations with the same value: an Iberian consommé, a hallaca of cuttlefish and a red mullet cooked in a flame...

I chose this dish because it tells the beginning of a journey—both a personal one and a real one. It starts with the prawn ravioli, the first recipe I discovered when I joined AS: a single bite that captures the full flavour of the prawn in a liquid ravioli. It continues with the chawanmushi and tableware inspired by our trip to Taiwan, and ends with Japan and Thailand, celebrating the simplicity of raw ingredients and their countless teas.

My favorite part of my childhood is the sea so that was my main inspira tion for this signature dish.I really want to transmite the ocean to everyone who tries the dish, especially because I'm from Viana do Castelo and we have several tradition related to the sea as getting up early and going to the beach to get seafood from the rocks.I remember the first time I tried a sea urchin, 100% sea.I want everyone to feel that flavour, that memory and get to know better Viana do Castelo by this dish.

This dish was born from my desire to reinterpret one of Aragon’s iconic ingredients and bring it into the world of fine dining. Aragonese trout is at the heart of the dish, reflecting my commitment to the region and its producers. My goal is to show that true culinary luxury lies in celebrating local origins, elevating regional ingredients and giving them the recognition they deserve through technique, respect and creativity.

This dish combines different flavors, textures and techniques. It's main objetive is to show the combination of duck breast with an oriental sauce, fresh vegetables and the crunchy almonds. The idea is to create a fusion between the different elaborations.

I am a chef who returned to his origins, and the one I want to become proves that flavor, wellbeing and respect for the sea are a single path. I believe food is how we care for one another — for the people we feed and the sea that feeds us. My Basque grandparents fished in Chile, there I found comunity and learned that to cook is to give care. This dish carries that belief: a humble mackerel caught by hook, cooked with modern-tradition technique, nutrients that heal, nothing wasted.
