The word gourmet used to feel like it belonged in a different world. Fancy restaurants, expensive tasting menus, occasions that most people do not have access to on a regular basis. But that idea has shifted. Today, gourmet food can come to you. To your home, your event space, your office. Right here in Sabadell.
Private chef and catering services have made high quality food accessible in a way that did not really exist before. And when you combine that with a live cooking experience, you get something that is genuinely special, not just for the food itself but for the whole atmosphere it creates.
What Gourmet Really Means
Gourmet does not have to mean complicated. It does not mean dishes with fifteen ingredients you cannot pronounce or food that looks more like art than a meal. What it actually means is food made with real care, quality ingredients, and genuine skill.
A paella cooked fresh with proper rice, good stock, quality seafood or meat, made by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. That is gourmet food. Sushi rolled with fresh fish, perfectly seasoned rice, clean and precise. That is gourmet food. It does not need to be complicated to be excellent.
Otra Kocina in Sabadell builds their service around this idea. Real food, made properly, in front of the people eating it.
The Showcooking Format
The thing that makes Otra Kocina different from many catering services is the live element. The chef does not disappear into a back kitchen and reappear with plates. They cook in the room, in front of your guests.
For a paella event, this means a large pan, the smell of sofrito building, the rice going in, the broth being added, the whole thing coming together over twenty or thirty minutes while your guests watch and talk around it. For a sushi event, it means watching the chef work with precision and speed, rolling fresh pieces right there at the table.
This format turns food into an experience. The cooking itself becomes entertainment. By the time people sit down to eat, they have already been engaged and excited for the better part of an hour.

| Corporate host | Impresses clients, elevates the event |

Fresh Ingredients Make the Difference
One of the pillars of gourmet catering is ingredient quality. Otra Kocina sources fresh ingredients for each event. Nothing is pre-made days in advance and reheated. Everything is bought and prepared specifically for your occasion.
This is not a small detail. The difference between a paella made with fresh ingredients that morning and one made from a base that was prepared two days ago is significant. Fresh food tastes better, full stop. And when you are hosting people you want to impress, that difference matters.
