- The Roca brothers, owners of renowned restaurant "El Celler de Can Roca" embark on a new challenge: exploring Scotland. Their journey will see them rediscover a cuisine that has kept itself hidden from the world in the past years.
- Joan, Josep and Jordi are the renowned Roca brothers, heirs of a family tradition that led them to create one of the world's best restaurants: El Celler de Can Roca. Their restless spirit and hunger for new knowledge has propelled them to travel the world in search of new products and cuisines. In this project the brothers set out to discover a country whose cuisine is little known in the world - a raw diamond that will surprise them and bring them new challenges. The best candidate to do that is... Scotland.
The Rocas will take us on an initiation trip to discover the country and find out about its products, landscapes and people. It is a quest to learn based on patience, respect and observation. We will meet traditional producers like Ian Spink, who uses traditional Viking cooking methods; food-wise people like Hamish Martin who teaches us the magic and mystery of wild herbs; big distilleries like The Macallan that hold the secrets of the best whiskies, and chefs like Ben Reade who embody the ambition and talent of the new Scottish cuisine.
On their travels the Rocas will find a gastronomically virgin land, with outstanding products and mythical landscapes. The big surprise is that the country is truly a gastronomic force waiting to be discovered, with a range of products that can match the world's best. The demanding Roca brothers are taking on a big responsibility: returning to tradition and shining a new light on it, appreciating local products, and persuading the Scottish themselves of the hidden treasures in their land.
It is a huge, complex and thrilling challenge. With their usual humility, humour and life philosophy of taking due time with things that are worth it, the brothers will create a menu that embodies the flavours of Scotland and pays tribute to it. They'll also tell us the unexpected connection between the country's culinary history and their own family history... Above all, they'll show the world Scotland's talent and culinary excellence.
