Catalonia steps up the promotion of its gastronomy and products in the German market during autumn 2026

The first Catalan gastronomy seminar, held on 21 September at the Hotelfachschule school in Hamburg, brought together some thirty final-year students from the cooking and hospitality fields. Led by chefs Marc Hanke and Ager Urigüen, the seminar combined an introduction to Catalan gastronomy with a hands-on cooking session and a tasting of Catalan wines. Through the different dishes, participants were able to discover at first hand the ingredients, techniques and dishes that form part of the Catalan culinary tradition, such as trinxat, fricandó, escalivada and fideuà.

One of this year's new features is the stronger promotion of Catalan products and companies present in the German market. The recipes prepared featured Catalan products, with the aim of giving them visibility and showing the possibilities they offer in the kitchen.

The day was rounded off with a tasting of Catalan wines, where students were able to try different wines and a sparkling wine from Catalan wineries and discover how to pair them with the various dishes on the menu.

This new edition continues the Catalan gastronomy seminars launched in 2025 with a second session, to be held on 15 October at the Landesberufsschule für das Hotel- und Gaststättengewerbe school in Villingen-Schwenningen.

Promoted by Prodeca and the Delegation of the Government of Catalonia in Germany, the initiative keeps gastronomic training as its main focus and this year steps up the promotion of Catalan agri-food and wine products present in the German market.
