Ada Parellada (Granollers, 1967) comes from a family that has been serving food for seven generations and over 250 years. She learned the trade of cook and restaurateur at Fonda Europa in Granollers, the Parellada family's main house, "the university of hospitality," in her words. Since 1993, she has had her own restaurant in Barcelona, Semproniana, where every March 8th she brings together some of the most prominent Catalan women for the Apron Festival. In this interview, Ada Parellada explains why there are no avocados in her restaurant and why sushi is a traditional dish for Catalan children.
