Chef Òscar Manresa has created the Catalina Foundation, named after his mother and the restaurant he owns in Gavà Mar. "One day I told myself I wanted to do more than just cook at the restaurant," he says, and above all explains that he saw it clearly during the pandemic, six years ago, when he then had Casa Leopoldo in Barcelona together with chef Romain Fornell, and there he began to prepare lunches for hospitals, for associations. When restaurants were able to reopen normally, he cooked meals for organizations once a week from the Catalina restaurant instead of every day, as he had done until then. "And I took it to the San Lorenzo residence." That's when he thought that, in addition to distributing dishes, he wanted to go further: "I thought I wanted people to have a day where they enjoyed the food, where they learned to make recipes at home, and all this that I was thinking about, I had to do with a foundation".
