Are you a cook? Do you think you are the best chef in your group of friends? If so, the time has come to prove it. And the fact is that, as part of the Festa Major de La Rambla 2024, a great paella contest will be held for more than 800 people.
The II Concurs solidari FEM Paelles a La Rambla will take place next Saturday, October 5, in the Plaça de la Gardunya, behind the Boqueria market, and after the success of the first edition, held last year, this 2024 will increase the number of teams that can participate in the contest, reaching 30.
Participating is very easy. If you think you have a chance of winning, you can register yourself and your team, which can be two people, at this link. You will be judged by a professional jury made up of three renowned chefs, Ada Parellada, Carles Gaig and Òscar Manresa, and by the gastronomic journalist Carme Gasull.
However, if your thing is more of a tasting job, don’t worry, you can buy a ticket to try the different paellas that will compete. Although if you do not want to risk eating burnt rice or do not trust your friends cooking, you can always eat the paella prepared by the chef Sergi de Meià. This option costs 15 euros and includes 3 different types of paella and a drink. You can buy the ticket at this link.
Paellas for charity
The organization of the II Concurs solidari FEM Paelles a La Rambla has been made jointly between the association Amics de La Rambla and the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (FEM) for charitable purposes.
For this reason, all the benefits obtained in the paella contest will be destined both to the research of the FEM and to neurorehabilitation projects for patients with this disease.
