The province of Girona boasts one of the most carefully preserved cooking traditions. It brings together the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean to create the concept of mar y monta?a /mar i muntanya (sea and mountains). The geographical diversity puts everything into the melting pot: meat, poultry, game, fruit and vegetables. This is a cuisine that likes to mix flavours, sweet and salty or fish and meat.
Shopping for food in Girona / What to Buy
Shops open at 9.30am then close for lunch, re-opening again at 5pm until 8pm.
The supermarkets (Champion on the way into La Bisbal from Girona offers magnificent cheese, fish, and wines) remain open all day apart from Sundays when they generally close all day.
The Autonomous Catalan Government, the Generalitat de Catalunya, established a 'Denomination of Quality' Products included under this system are the apples of Girona and the anchovies of L'Escala.

Eating at home: a seasonal guide
Spring: Savour the tastes of spring with an omelette of courgettes, aubergines, garlic, artichokes and wild asparagus, or try tender spring lamb with minted peas and Morels (wild mushrooms). (Ask the butcher for the youngest lamb they have, this is the best.) There are specialist pork butchers that sell mouth-watering suckling pig, but you'll need to order it in advance. The fishing season starts around May, so pass by the fishmonger and see what delights grace the stalls. Cook up a magnificent suquet, the traditional Costa Brava fisherman's dish made from a selection of fish, usually hake (Merluza / Llu?) and monkfish (Rap / Rape) boiled in a thick broth and sofrito, garnished with mussels (mejillones/musclos) and served in a 'cazeula' (earthenware dish).
Summer: Fiesta season! The season that brings the mar i muntanya / mar y monta?a (sea and mountains) concept into its own. Try Chicken with lobster, the Costa Brava classic. It seems an unusual combination, but you'll soon appreciate the enjoyable mixture of flavours. In Girona there are chicken specialists that can recommend not only which parts of the chicken you should use for particular dishes, but can also offer expert advice on cooking methods and recommended accompaniments (guarnici?n / guarnicio). Another masterpiece and probably one of the most unusual in the Catalan cookbook is the Estartit stew of sa
Searching for a niche for your online business is somewhat like the process used on popular television reality shows to narrow the broad list of challengers to one winner. At first thought, you probably can’t find a lot in common with these two concepts . But, take a closer look and you’ll see the similarities.1. Just like a reality show, you start with a lot of hopefuls. While on the show, the hopeful’s are people, for your niche it is ideas or topic areas.2. The hopeful ideas come in various shapes, sizes, potential, and ability to succeed. Each idea needs to be given a preliminary test against basic criteria to see if it meets the mark.3. Most hopefuls will be eliminated; only a few will get passed on and you’re not always sure if you eliminated or kept the right ones.4. You spend a lot of time going through a bunch of losers to find the winner. This means you have to narrow down the possibilities to the ideas that look most promising or the ones that outlast the others5. You give the remain

Autumn: The hunting season and that of the wild mushroom, of which there are many (see guide below). Salads and vegetables make popular autumn meals. Combine this with fish and try esqueixada (salt cod salad) as a fresh palate-stimulating starter. During this season more so than any other, you'll see the streets lined with stall upon stall of succulent vegetables, all waiting to be chopped and roasted in olive oil, garlic and herbs for the perfect Escalivada, Tumbet or Xamfaina. Add this to a dish of oven-roasted veal for a hearty meal. Panellets are rich almond biscuits made in every household in Catalonia to celebrate the eve of All Saints Day. They are accompanied by roasted chestnuts and mature wine and can be kept for a long time, so make a big batch!
Winter: Warming meals, soups and winter vegetables like turnips, cabbage and parsnips. Snails and truffles are a winter delicacy, as are the sea urchins celebrated during the seasonal gastronomic feast from January to March. For Christmas, Escudella i carn d'olla is the dish of the day. This is a Catalan soup made with the famous pilota, a meaty 'dumpling' made'of parsley, breadcrumbs and egg. The stew probably has more ingredients than any other in the whole country: veal, bacon, beef, chicken, pig's ear and trotters, pork, white and black butifarra, ham and marrow bone, chickpeas, beans, potatoes, cauliflower, egg, turnip, carrot, garlic, flour, pepper, cinnamon and parsley.
