Glosario Gastronómico

The idea behind “Glosario Gastronómico de la Nueva España” originated when I first moved to Barcelona in late 2020. I was quite surprised when I saw how many Latin American products had become commonplace in the local supermarkets and small bodegas. However, it felt like these products were becoming more commonplace among a younger generation of Spaniards, not necessarily among the older generation who was still somewhat apprehensive about these new foreign “exotic” products. I wanted to introduce these products in a light-hearted way to a local demographic while showcasing this contrast between the older symbols of Spain and these new gastronomic imports from their former colonies.
