Emilio Lacambra Manzano
When he was only twelve years old, at the begging of the XX Century, his grandfather arrived to Zaragoza walking from Huesca, to work in some kitchens. In 1939, he opened Casa Emilio, a food house that some years before and with his grandson’s help, it became in a social, political and cultural centre in Zaragoza.
When the third generation took over the restaurant, they wanted to keep the traditional recipe book for conviction, militancy and on defence of the Aragon’s gastronomy, as an inherent part of the culture.
The recipe of Aragonese ratatouille 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.
