Diario de Avisos presented its awards in El Sauzal in a gala with humor, music and a call to take care of the gastronomic story
>>>Aevening, in El Sauzal, los Diario de Avisos National Gastronomy Awards They brought together a good part of the profession that today supports Canarian cuisine: chefs, Wineries, businesspeople, journalists, producers, room people and a few regulars of those nights where recognition is mixed, the reunion and a certain need to take the pulse of the sector.
The gala had rhythm. Aaron Gomez He conducted it with a fair and necessary humor, who measured the times well and let the night breathe. That virtue, at an awards ceremony, it's worth a lot.
One of the most refined moments came with the intervention of the journalist Jose Luis Conde, president of the jury. It was brief, but it didn't pass by. He spoke about communication and the new universe around gastronomy, of its current risks and of that uncertain future that should no longer be viewed naively. His speech had the virtue of not sounding formal.. He remembered, among other good words, that telling gastronomy requires judgment, context and responsibility, just now that digital noise threatens to confuse influence, information and propaganda.
The artistic closure, brilliant final pill, was performed by the Japanese pianist and soprano Satomi Morimoto, who also showed stage waist by previously lending himself to the sketch by Aarón Gómez and Carlos Pedrós.
The record of the 41 edition of the National Gastronomy Awards
En el palmarés de los galardones de gastronomía decanos en el periodismo español, the award to Best Restaurant it was for Sea breeze, in Playa Blanca. The recognition looks towards a much loved house in Lanzarote, associated with the product, to the sea and a way of serving fish that has resisted trends without losing character.
The award to Best National Restaurant fell on The Tasqueria, by Javi Estevez, one of the houses that has best known how to bring offal to contemporary language without erasing its popular origin. His presence at these awards - which he collected accompanied by his young daughter- confirms that Spanish cuisine continues to find fertile paths when it dares to look at the humble in the face.
The recognition of Canarian Identity Crater, Eduardo Domínguez's project at Royal Hideaway Corales Villas, honored with the award #ConsumeCanario. Your work with products, producers and stories from La Palma fit well with an increasingly necessary idea: Canarian haute cuisine gains depth when it acts as a living archive of the territory.
Wine had its space with Ferrera Winery, not Arafo, awarded for a wine-growing work that speaks of landscape, organic farming and family continuity.
The list of winners was expanded with Lebanon, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the international cuisine section; Bird Pastry, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in pastry; y Samantha Vallejo-Nágera, recognized for its work in gastronomic dissemination.
Lanzarote reappeared with Luna Zacharias, named Ambassador of Canarian Gastronomy in the World.

The award to the Young Talents it was for Rafael de Leon, chef at El Cenador, in Costa Adeje. Its name points to a generation that arrives with technique, ambition and less complex when working with Canarian products.
He Manuel Iglesias Award a Priscila and Carlos Gamonal, from Mesón El Drago, put a note of emotion, family memory and long occupation. There are restaurants that are not understood only by their dishes.. They also weigh the room, the conversation, the years, the clientele that returns and that hospitality that is not learned in one season.
the night, which ended with the now usual toast in the Plaza de El Sauzal, left a clear feeling: Canarian gastronomy is going through a great moment, different, even something difficult to enclose in a single photograph. There is popular cuisine, author projects, wineries with speech, young people who push, rooms with office and, definitely, everything you need to shine in the best constellations.
Last night, the Newspaper Foundation, as the banner of the media group that redoubles bets with Lucas Fernandez in front, put those names back on the table.
