Sani Gourmet 2024

Since 2006, Sani Gourmet has curated an exquisite blend of cultures, flavours, and traditions from around the world, dedicating each year to a new gastronomic theme. This year, we eagerly welcome Michelin-starred pioneers of gastronomy, poised to captivate food enthusiasts throughout the season with their exclusive degustation menus inspired by their signature dishes, expertly enhanced by wine pairings. Utilising only the freshest produce, these celebrated chefs will dazzle with their culinary expertise, as Sani Gourmet offers guests a rare opportunity to savour menus crafted by these epicurean stars.

In 2010, Paco Morales earned his first Michelin star with his eponymous restaurant at the Hotel Ferrero in Bocairente. However, it was his ambitious venture, NOOR, launched in his hometown of Córdoba in 2016, which truly showcased his culinary vision.
 
Reinterpreting Andalusian cuisine through meticulous historical research of Al-Andalus gastronomy and blending influences from the three cultures – Judaism, Islam and Christianity - that shaped Andalusian cuisine, NOOR garnered two Michelin stars in just over three years.
 
Chef Paco Morales will open this year’s annual celebration of haute cuisine, Sani Gourmet, with an exclusive dinner at Elia restaurant on July 26th.

Last year, Forbes ranked Andoni Luis Aduriz among the world’s 100 most creative people. His legendary Basque restaurant Mugaritz opened in 1998, and now holds two Michelin stars and has been a constant presence in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list for 14 consecutive years, while Aduriz received the list’s Icon Award in 2023.
 
Aduriz’ accolades include the Premio Nacional de Gastronomía, Chef’s Choice Award, and the Best Chef Science Award. Recently he was appointed Goodwill Ambassador for Japanese Cuisine, reflecting his global influence and commitment to culinary innovation.
 
Chef Andoni Aduriz will be creating a sumptuous feast at Elia Restaurant on the 9th August for this year’s Sani Gourmet.

Training in prestigious kitchens worldwide from the age of 16, Clare Smyth MBE was recognised as the World's Best Female Chef by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2018 - she opened her own restaurant, Core, in Notting Hill that same year. Within three years, it was awarded three Michelin stars, making Smyth the only British female chef able to claim such an accolade.
 
Awarded the MBE in 2013 and a Doctorate by Queen's University Belfast in 2019, Smyth is committed to nurturing culinary talent.
