 Chef Alain Devahive Tolosa As a young boy, Chef Alain Devahive Tolosa spent much of his time in the kitchen with his grandmother, where he remembers being transfixed with the movement of her hands and the aromas and symphony of flavours she created each time. Fast forward to today, Alain has in turn transfixed an international audience of chefs and foodies with his culinary techniques, some of which are unique to the world of molecular gastronomy. The Barcelona-born chef honed his craft with culinary positions in a number of Michelin starred restaurants in Spain and France. In particular, Alain spent a decade in the kitchens of the world-famous three Michelin starred elBulli, before moving behind the scenes to elBullitaller, the restaurant’s food research laboratory. Post elBulli, Alain put his experience to good use and consulted on a number of high profile openings in his home country. With Catalunya, Alain will introduce the rich history and culture of the Spanish nation and transform the culinary landscape in Singapore. With one eye on creating such a revolution, and the other seeing himself as heir to the heritage of traditional Spanish cuisine that has been passed from generation to generation, Alain seeks to transpose his knowledge to Singapore shores giving local staff the opportunity to discover new kitchen techniques, and re-discover the diversity of the Spanish cuisine. |
