Catalonia-born chef Antonio Saez gained his culinary experience under the guidance of lauded chefs such as Ferrán Adrià and Martin Berasategui. He obtained two Michelin stars for his restaurant Lasarte in 2009, when he was just 29, making him the youngest chef in Spain to receive the stars at that point in time. His love and passion for his region's cuisine led him to moving to the Middle East with Rosewood Abu Dhabi in 2012, to become Chef de Cuisine of the first Catalonian cuisine restaurant in the UAE, Catalan. Here he shares some traditional dishes presented with a contemporary touch.
