    2026-11-04 13:30 2026-11-04 14:15 Europe/Madrid The Emotion Behind a Cake Tradition is not something static, but a living legacy that invites us to look back in order to keep moving forward. Revisiting the classics means returning to what has shaped us, understanding its essence, and finding new ways to be moved by flavours that are part of our collective memory. In this workshop at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona, we will explore Massini, one of the iconic cakes of the Catalan pastry-making tradition, to discover how we can reinterpret a classic without losing sight of its identity. Because innovation does not always mean breaking with convention; sometimes, true creativity lies in gaining a deep understanding of a product, respecting its origins, and discovering new possibilities through it.
