A unique gastronomic event
The Vadefoodies Gastronomic and Cultural Association has announced an exciting initiative within the framework of the Vadefoodies 2025 Gastronomic Trends Festival, which will take place in Igualada. This event is not only a celebration of gastronomy, it also seeks to revitalize Catalan visceral cuisine through the I Capipota Recipe Contest.
A dish with history
The Capipota, one of the most iconic dishes in Catalan cuisine, becomes the protagonist of this contest. The organizers want to emphasize the importance of this culinary tradition, encouraging the use of children and recipes that reflect the gastronomic richness of the territory.
Participation of Catalan restaurants
The competition is open to all professional restaurants in Catalonia that offer Capipota as part of their usual menu. The best dishes will be awarded with 500 euros for the first classified and 200 euros for the second, thus encouraging the creativity and originality in the preparation of this dish.
An initiative with local rooting
Joan Fontanella, President of Vadefoodies and co -organizer of the event, emphasizes that Igualada is the ideal place for this competition, thanks to its rich gastronomic tradition. Its mission is to make visibility to all the restaurants that preserve and reinvent the capipota.
Defending culinary identity
Cinto Llanas, also a co -organizer, expresses his satisfaction with the increase in restaurants that have begun to include children in their letters. This reflects a positive tendency towards the recovery of traditional cuisine and the exploration of new flavors.
Important dates and details
Those interested in participating must submit their application through a form before April 20. After a pre -selection, up to 24 finalists will be chosen, who will compete on June 7 during the festival.
An expert jury
The jury, which includes prominent figures such as Marc Castells, mayor of Igualada, and the recognized chef Maria Nicolau, will evaluate the creations of the participants. In addition, the festival will offer a wide gastronomic program that promises to be attractive to all lovers of good food.
A promising future
With this initiative, Vadefoodies not only seeks to reward the best capipota recipes, but also to inspire a new generation of chefs and restaurateurs to continue exploring the riches of visceral cuisine. The celebration of Catalan gastronomic culture is more alive than ever.
