Gastronomic Demonstrations

Regarding gastronomy, renowned chefs and industry professionals will deliver an intense programme of demonstrations throughout the weekend in Pavilion 5—some sponsored by Hiperdino—where they will share techniques, creative fusions and inspiration drawn from local products.

One of the most anticipated demonstrations will be by Michelin-starred chef Jordi Cruz, known for his work at restaurants such as ABaC (Barcelona) and for his role as a judge on the television programme ‘MasterChef’. On Saturday, May 10, in the afternoon, the Catalan chef will showcase his ability to blend tradition with innovation, combining technical precision with creativity. In recent years, this combination has made him one of the leading figures on the international gastronomic scene.

In addition, Infecar has organised multiple activities for all audiences, including children’s workshops promoted and organised by the Gran Canaria Chamber of Commerce, with the collaboration of the Gran Canaria Economic Promotion Society (Spegc). Highlights include workshops by chef Valentina Salazar (winner of MasterChef Junior 11) and initiatives such as the ‘Fruit Art’ workshop sponsored by SPAR Gran Canaria.

As a novelty, this year the fair will host, for the first time, an Employment and Gastronomy Meeting—a joint initiative with the Gran Canaria Chamber of Commerce and the Innova Gastrocan Cluster—to foster connections between students and professionals in the sector.
