We are happy to hear that two of our truly amazing Spanish women chefs, Carme Ruscalleda and María del Mar Raventós, have made it to the Forbes Top 10 rank of Most Powerful Women in Spain. 

We think this is a good step towards gender parity in Spanish gastronomy. The influence of women masterchefs is not always recognized and unfairly, their potential remains relatively unexplored.

Congratulations to Carme and María del Mar! We can’t wait to hear more news like this one.
