Quito gastronomy2 will be represented at Madrid Fusión by tastings prepared by top-level Ecuadorian chefs. Alejandro Chamorro, chef of the Nuema restaurant, will present 'Ecuador, between latitudes and hemispheres', in which he exalts the products of each town in the country and conceives the kitchen as an engine of Ecuadorian culinary identity. His restaurant has entered the prestigious list of Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants, as the first Ecuadorian establishment in history to access this recognition.
Chef Santiago Cueva from 'Marcando el camino' will present 'Teobroma', a Greek word that means 'food of the gods', which shows a journey through the daily work of the Ecuadorian chef that has allowed him to reach this world gastronomic event.
