It is sometimes said that gastronomy world is a bit macho. In order to fight against the curse, Amalia Marquet launches “Dones de Gust”.

As its name suggests, Dones de Gust (Women of Taste) is an activity reserved for women. What is it about? Amalia wishes to animate discussions both didactic and playful about gastronomy: wine tasting classes, savoir-vivre and know-how, discovery of quality products, tips for home,…

And since we live in a cosmopolitan country, these workshops will be given in Catalan, French, Castilian and English, if the request is sufficient, at least 6 participants per language.

Useful information:

– 1 session per language per month.

– Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm.

– Average duration: 90 minutes.

– On registration only.

– Minimum number of participants per workshop: 6 participants.

– Maximum number of participants per workshop: 11 participants.

– Price per workshop: from 20 to 35 euros depending on the tasted product(s).

– Discounts on products if purchased the same day.

The first workshop in Catalan will take place on Wednesday, March 1st at 7:00 pm, at Gourmeterie Marquet, Plaça Coprinceps in Escaldes-Engordany.

First topic: Wine etiquette and good manners

Reservation: 820 722 & info@marquetandorra.com

Ladies, Amalia is waiting for you!

Promotion Comtesse du Barry Foie Gras

01 Aug

As from 29th. July, Marquet is promoting Comtesse du Barry foie gras. As the choice is so wide, here is a brief tutorial:

A block or whole?
A whole foie gras is not manipulated in any way. It is composed of one or two whole ‘lobes’ of liver. A block of foie gras contains emulsified foie gras, guaranteeing a homogeneous taste. It allows one to discover this pleasure at least cost.

Duck or goose?
When you taste goose foie gras, you will appreciate its finesse, delicacy and elegance. It is pinker in appearance than duck foie gras. The latter asserts itself more in the mouth.

How to serve?
Always cool, never iced. Allow it to breathe for 15 minutes before slicing it with an unserrated knife previously rinsed in warm water.

And to accompany?
Beware of clichés… avoid very sweet wines. Marquet would recommend a wine from Alsace, or from Hungary or vintage port.

Let us return to our current promotion of three identical foies with a discount of 25% on each other individual foie. This offer will cease when our stocks are exhausted! A visit to Marquet is essential!
