Carme Ruscalleda is a famous Catalan chef of restaurant Sant Pau in Sant Pol de Mar.
Ruscalleda was raised in a family of farmers and began cooking as a girl. She studied Charcuterie technics, and after marrying a grocery owner in 1975 convinced him to open a restaurant. Sant Pau opened in 1988 and obtained its third Michelin Guide star in 2006.
Her cuisine is strongly based on Catalan tradition and nevertheless open to world influences, focuses on quality and season products and adding poetry to cooking. She often relates the dishes served to a leitmotif explained in the menu, creating a sort of literary concept.
