Thursday 13th Navarra trip with Chef German Rodrigo.

This Thursday we have a special menu  introduced by our special guest Chef;

The Spanish Chef German Rodrigo was born in Navarra (Spain) on the 7th of July. If you know about the traditional festival of Spain, you will know this is the day of a big party in San Fermin in the north of Spain. Thousands of people meet for a week long celebration in the streets of Pamplona (a city of Navarra). But this place is not only famous for this festival. We know so well this is a place in Spain where you can eat delicious food and drink great wines, like the famous rose wines of Navarra.

German grew up in a family who owns and operates a restaurant. His grandfather and father taught him the skills of cooking and the taste of good food. His grandmother and mother taught him how to treat and care for the customers. He spent his childhood in the kitchen, watching and helping his family work in the restaurant. These experiences made him understand what are the details necessary to create excellent dishes. This is why he knows so well the best food is cooked from the heart.
He is a friendly person and enjoys meeting his family and friends around a table with good wines and good food. German feels this is the best language  to open the doors to the heart of every person.

German came to Taiwan with his Taiwanese wife in 2011, and decided to stay in Tainan. We were lucky to meet him this year at the "Expo Food Taipei 2012" where he was introducing wines and olive oils from his import company. After we tried them, we decided to add his products to our menu. We cook many of our dishes and tapas with the extra virgin olive oil " La Maja". It really gives great taste and aroma, making the flavors of our dishes richer. Also, this week we will have the wines and liquors he chose personally to import to Taiwan, like "Ochoa", a high quality wine recognized in many countries of the world.


For this Thursday, German R. will prepare a Special Menu where everyone can try the wines and the oils famous from the typical gastronomy of Navarra, as well as some favorite dishes of the Chef.

Don’t miss the chance to enjoy his delicious cooking and his friendly company!

這星期四我們將邀請一位特別的主廚嘉賓，為您獻上一份特別的西班牙美食饗宴:
海曼●羅德黎歌，西班牙主廚，七月七日出生於西班牙北部拿瓦拉省旁普隆納市。如果您對西班牙傳統節慶稍微有所認識，那您應該知道這天恰巧也就是西班牙最大的著名節慶之一聖費爾明節(俗稱奔牛節)。在這個節慶開始後的一個禮拜，市區裡會湧入成千上萬的人一同在旁普隆納市的街道上狂歡慶祝。然而這個省份不只因為聖費爾明節(奔牛節)而有名，它的美食和美酒更是世界聞名，像是拿瓦拉省特別著名的粉紅葡萄酒。
來自於餐飲世家的海曼，從爺爺和爸爸身上所學到的是廚藝的美好，從外婆和媽媽身上所學到是對待顧客的親切。
從小就在餐廳廚房長大，在幫忙家人及實際工作的體驗中，深深了解到每一道美食背後所要付出的努力及細節元素。每一道給顧客的菜都得用心烹調，就像是獻給自家人的美食。愛跟家人和朋友聚在一起的他，喜歡藉由美食和美酒的圍繞，連結親情和友誼。海曼認為一場美食和美酒饗宴的分享，是通往每一個與會者心中最好的語言。

2011年海曼與他的台灣老婆決定回台定居台灣台南。我們很幸運的在今年2012年西班牙美食美酒展(Expo Food Taipei 2012)認識了他們。在美食美酒展上他們正在宣傳他們所引進的西班牙拉瑪哈農莊特級冷壓初榨橄欖油。在品嚐過後，樂盒子餐廳決定使用他們頂級的特級冷壓初榨橄欖油用來烹調一些西班牙小吃和餐點，而無庸置疑的，拉瑪哈農莊的橄欖油確實為樂盒子餐廳的餐點增色加分許多，而這星期我們也正式引進他們所獨家代理的西班牙歐丘雅酒莊的頂級葡萄酒和世襲保羅艾斯帕爾薩-拿瓦拉酒莊的利口酒，兩家酒莊都因其酒品的品質與美味而聞名許多國家。

 這個星期四13海曼將為您帶來不一樣的餐點，誠摯地邀請您來品嘗主廚推薦的美酒和美食。
千萬別錯過和海曼分享美酒美食的機會喔!
