Irish Food Recipes Biography
Source(google.com.pk)Juan Mari did not take long to decide on his profession. As a child, he was used to smelling the aromas of traditional Basque food both at home and in the restaurant his parents used to run on the outskirts of Donostia-San Sebastián. Everything began a generation before, in 1897, when the grandparents of Juan Mari Arzak built a house where they opened up a tavern. The business was inherited by Arzak's parents, who decided to turn it into an eating-house, which soon gained a good reputation locally. Juan Mari's father died when he was a child, but his mother, Paquita Arratibel, continued the family business and passed on her love of cooking to her son. That was where he learnt about ancestral foodways and the importance of using good ingredients, notions which stood him in good stead throughout his career.
In the mid-1960s, Juan Mari traveled to Madrid to study Technical Architecture, but within a year was back in Donostia-San Sebastián. He studied at the Hospitality School there, then spent some time at various restaurants across the border, in France. Then back to join the family business under the orders of his mother. Arzak is full of praise for all he learned from her. "She taught me how to shop in the market, and to put care and affection into everything being prepared in the kitchen. I'm convinced that a sensitive palate can tell what mood the cook was in when making a dish". He often mentions another trait, "She was modest, a much-appreciated virtue in this profession".
Arzak soon took responsibility for the restaurant’s grill and became an expert. But as from the mid-1970s, he moved from tradition towards his own, unique style. Arzak was one of the main figures in a key phenomenon in the recent history of Spanish gastronomy, New Basque Cuisine (Nueva Cocina Vasca). A group of Basque chefs, influenced by Nouvelle Cuisine and Paul Bocuse, took the first steps towards innovating local cooking, introducing sophistication into the traditional recipes and products.
Today, the Arzak restaurant is managed by Juan Mari and his daughter Elena, who has faithfully followed in his footsteps. Elena has studied at catering schools in Spain, France and Switzerland, and has worked at a number of top-level restaurants, including elBulli with Ferran Adrià. But her plan was always to return home, and today she is mainly responsible for the research carried out at the restaurant.
One of Arzak's treasures is his laboratory, which is partly behind the prestige his establishment has won over the last ten years. This is where they experiment with flavors and textures, trying out different combinations. It is the testing-ground for new recipes, the aim being always to surprise and please.
