Miguel Ángel Revuelto Lanaspa
Miguel Ángel says that he become a cook thanks to Santiago Carrascón, his first head chef at Hotel Oriente. Once trapped in a world he is passionate about, he worked in several kitchens at luxury hotels until he arrived to Casino Montesblancos, first, and then to the Gayarre. During twenty-eight years he defended the borage and the rest of vegetables of Saragossa’s garden, as nobody has done before. Since the middle of 2016, after a period in China, he cooks “in Galician” in a Saragossa’s tavern.
The recipe of borage with octopus and foam as well as the Chef bio is an extract of the Golden Book of the Aragonese Cuisine first edition, an International Gourmand World Cookbook Award as the best book in Spanish in the “Local Cuisine” category.
