Jorge Lara Belsué
Jorge Lara learned to cook by working. Although the restaurant bug bit him at an early age, having fun with his mum in the kitchen, his initiation into cooking took him to Catalonia and the Basque Country, going from restaurant to restaurant and absorbing lessons from the best chefs. During the year that he was working in the restaurant Akelarre in San Sebastián, he met Jasone, his wife. When they opened his restaurant in Zaragoza, they named it with a combining of letters taken from the names of their three children: Gorka, Alba and Laida, Goralai.
