Did you know that Pablo Neruda, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, was passionate about good food?
The poet who penned “the saddest lines” wrote entire odes to traditional Chilean ingredients and dishes. We took his poetry to the other side of the world, where a renowned Chinese chef found inspiration in “Ode to Conger Chowder” to reinterpret the classic Chilean dish.
La obra de Pablo Neruda se caracteriza por abordar temas profundos como el amor, la melancolía y el romance. Pero también dentro de su trabajo dedicó cientos de páginas a rendir tributo a cosas cotidianas que le apasionaban, dentro de ellas, la cocina.
Es por eso que invitamos a uno de los más reconocidos chefs de China a inspirarse en la famosa “Oda al caldillo de congrio”, para reinterpretar este platillo icónico de la gastronomía chilena.
