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 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 from 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 Aduriz will be creating a sumptuous feast at Elia Restaurant on the 9th August for this year’s Sani Gourmet.
