About The Recipe for Balance
Ricard Camarena bases his cooking on València’s orchards. His constant search for harmony between flavors has seduced critics and crossed borders. Alongside Mari Carmen Bañuls, the brains behind the restaurants, they make an unbreakable team that has overcome great adversity to reach success, endorsed by two Michelin Stars and the recent National Gastronomy Prize. Just as the couple reach an equilibrium of success, the outbreak of COVID-19 force them to face an unprecedented challenge: re-open their restaurants with the uncertainty that this “new normal” imposes. Unaware of the pandemic, València’s orchards have continued their natural cycle of growth.
