 Product news, company profiles Hotel Jardín Tropical Gourmet delights You don’t have to be a guest in Tenerife’s finest hotels to enjoy some of the gastronomic delights their kitchens have to offer – just as well really otherwise you might have to pass up the chance to indulge in a Gourmet Culinary Experience at the El Patio restaurant in the Hotel Jardín Tropical from December 14th – 18th. 
Alvaro Garcés, from Spain, is well known for his culinary touches in some of Spain’s finest hotels, and has brought those exquisite tastes to El Patio. He trained in Seville and earned a Masters degree in haute cuisine and executive and creative management from Barcelona University. Alvaro Garcés has seen the insides of the kitchens of some of the country’s finest restaurants, gaining experience in the restaurant of the Guggenheim museum and in Lillas Pastia in Huelva and the five star Hotel Don Carlos. He will present his menu on December 12th. Christophe Van Den Berghe from Belgium will take over the ladle on December 15th and Wout Bru, also from Belgium, on December 16th. Already well known in his native homeland thanks to his restaurant in Provence Bru is lauded for being inventive in his approach to food, his use of local ingredients, and is hailed as a joy to work with. Both have been honoured by Michelin stars for their culinary expertise. German chef Andreas Mayer is also a Michelin two star holder for his restaurant and was Austria’s chef of the year in 2007. He is praised for setting “culinary trends with uncommon flavours and new compositions”. Mayer will be in charge on December 17th. On December 18th all the chefs come together in what will be an unforgettable evening’s dining. Patrons can either book in for an eight course meal or for the meal paired with wines (matching each course). See their ad on page 6.
