Daniel Jordà does it again. Tomorrow, may 8th, his "Petonets de Xocolata" (Chocolate Sweet Kisses) will do magic for supporting ovary cancer medical research.

They will be at Hospital de la Vall d'Hebron and at Panes Creativos.

Daniel Jordà's wonders will be in company of Betina Montagne, Ada Parellada, Mireia Carbó and Rafinha.

Sant Jordi's bread

The fact of going at Daniel Jordà's house (Panes Creativos, Pl. Garrigó, 5 - Barcelona) for purchasing Easter items (well, Mona and bread for Torrijas) and having Sant Jordi so close made I could experience Daniel Jordà's Sant Jordi bread before april 23rd.

A kinf of bread with its typical ingredients (wallnuts, cheese and "sobrasada"), but with a powerful taste that I haven't experienced before. So, I strongly reccommend to visit the genius o bread and experience his works.

Easter 2019

But Easter is not only celebrated with chocolate sculptures. Daniel Jordà (Panes Creativos, Pl. Garrigó, 5 - Barcelona) offers some other Easter sweets like Colomba Pasquale, a traditional italian recipe family of Panetone. And, obviously, Daniel Jordà bakes them wonderful... Classica (with candied fruit) or with chocolate. Anyone of them does not last at table.

And, also, a classical "tonya", with his touch.

All Those Food Market - Spring 2019

Even though it is not the first gastronomical event, the spring All Those is the beginning of the fever of activities related to food.

This year, we paid attention to sky, because rain threat was present. Fortunatelly, rain appeared a short time in sunday. This allowed to enjoy the products of the artisans inside and outside the TNC.

This edition had the presence of Daniel Jordà (from Panes Creativos)...

...who was with a sample of the wonders he creates, as the Spring Bread...

... or the Colomba Pasquale.

As you can imagine, nothing has a long life at home.

And as far as cooking is concerned, I ate delicious "tequeños" (Chivuo's),...

... a flavourful butter chicken sandwich (Caravan Made),...

... and very well cooked fish and chips (The Fish and Chips Shop).

Everythin, in the company of an Amber by La Pirata.

The dessert was from Delacrem: combination of coffee, mascarpone and "dulce de leche" ice cream and coconut with ginger ice cream.

PAtonets de la Rita

In St. Valentine's week, Daniel Jordà shows all his love... But not in a cheesy way... just real love.

At his bakery, Panes Creativos, there are the Patonets de la Rita, a kind of sweet bread in honour to her daughter Rita, a fighter. With this creation, Daniel Jordà wants to remind us february 15t is the "Child Cancer International Day" and want to make us easy to collaborate, because profits will be donated to Fundació de Sant Joan de Déu.

If you want to celebrate St. Valentine's with a love one, the Patonets de la Rita will help you, because love will reach many people.

Daniel Jordà and Worldwide Bread

Daniel Jordà, without any doubt, is a bread alchemist. Few things in this world resist him and many others appear because of his hands.

His motto (Love is in the Bread) is something related to what his creations cause. Creations that go to Michelin starred restaurants. 15 restaurants with star have or had Panes Creativos, Daniel Jordà's bakery, bread. The showcooking was good to explain how he began his personal project: he took the sunday specials of newspapers and next week called all restaurants that appear there. Once contacted, he offered a bread for its cooking and sent some samples. This was the way Panes Creativos started.

In his bakery, different bread from all around the world is baked. This is because people who arrive close to him to learn. The ones who enter there have a petition from Jordà: show me to bake bread from the place you come. So, it came Babka, a delicious preparation with jewish origins, made with chocolate and cinnamon. It is quite popular in the United States.

Also, he bakes a venezuelan preparation typical of Christmas time. Inside, it has ham, olives and raisins.

Okaido, his last creation, is a japanese bread product. Very fluffy.

Panetone is, for Daniel Jordà, the most difficult challenge for a baker, because it is a preparation, from sour dough, with so many fermentation hours: until 3 days it can be fermenting.

At the end, coming back home, he has created a chocolate "coca" that wants to recover the traditional snack of bread with chocolate, but in one piece. It is bread with more than 100% of hidratation.

Lots of delicious bread slices!
