#33.- Home cooking

Today is the Winter Feast in my town, Santa Maria de Palautordera. One of the most appreciated activities is a show of Home Cooking.
Today we have reached the 27th edition of it! That means BIG WORDS! At this moment this activity can be considered as a "modern" tradition.
More than 40 chefs have cooked their best specialities for the rest of the town. People have tasted new meals or food that people know but prepared for other man o woman.
It's beautiful to see how the generational change is made in this kind of activities. Young girls and boys help their parents to serve dishes or cook. This is a good sign of the work is doing well.
The dining room has been completely full. There wasn't space enough for anything more. It's wonderful see how this kind of "rural" activity has a place, despite the pressure of other activities like cinema, restaurants, weekend getaway, sports, ...
Although the activity is commonly catalan, it's wonderful to see how foreign people living in the town for years participates too. Today I've seen 4 morocco couples, 1 italian and 1 brazilian.

Good work, organizators!
