THERE is a saying, a family that eats together stays together. For the Roca brothers, this saying extends to them cooking together.
The Roca brothers, Joan, Josep and Jordi, could very well be the most famous family in Girona, Spain. The trio are behind El Celler De Can Roca, founded by Joan and Josep in 1986. The restaurant was located alongside their parents' simple restaurant, Can Roca, before moving to its current premises up the road. Youngest brother, Jordi, started in the kitchen in 1998.
Each brother has his own part to play in the restaurant. Joan, 51, heads the kitchen, Josep, 49, is the sommelier and Jordi, 36, the pastry chef. Each focuses on his own role, but "we also work together to bring out the synergy in the food", says Jordi.
