My name is Ana, and in a few lines I'm going to tell you a little about CREA_Tasting Lab. Although it may not seem like it, this creative and a bit messy mind, was formed in engineering school in Caracas, Venezuela. This was many years ago and it was clear that it was not something I was passionate about! In the quest to develop my career towards a more creative world of design and innovation, in 2016 I decided to embark on a new adventure.
That's when I came to Spain and started from scratch in a totally new country. I came to Spain as a student at IED and once I finished my master's degree I started working at We Crave Design, a small conceptual product studio.
Discovering Gastronomy
Over time I discovered that gastronomy had a very important power over people, not only was it vital for survival, but it was also capable of captivating and transmitting emotions in a very powerful way. With this in mind, I decided to focus my professional career on what I am most passionate about, food as a communication tool.
After experimenting with different materials and techniques I discovered a world of possibilities around food and over time I learned that, by mixing different elements, it is possible to stimulate the senses, thus creating a sensory experience during the act of eating.
Based on the premise that taste is a construction of our mind, involving not only our senses but also our emotions, perceptions and expectations, in 2021 I proposed a new concept in the world of events and hospitality.
Artigot Catering and Crea_Tasting Lab
For this new project developed exclusively by me, I contacted with Artigot Catering thanks to a good friend who already worked with them in a wedding venue.
I was lucky that my project fit them because they were also looking for something more exclusive and personalized that some clients demanded.
This is when CREA_Tasting Labwas born, a multisensory catering that proposes a creative cuisine tailor-made for special events, creating a new environment in which new ways of using gastronomy and design emerge. With this, we seek to stimulate all the senses by creating new experiences that go beyond merely satisfying our appetite.
It is a concept that focuses on turning the ordinary into something extraordinary, capable of transmitting and evoking emotions, turning gastronomy into the common thread capable of creating unforgettable experiences.
The support of Artigot Catering as a basis for the development of Gastronomic proposals.
With the support of the kitchen and logistics of Artigot Catering we have been able to develop new gastronomic proposals that have opened the doors to the market thanks to their clients for whom we have already prepared several gastronomic experiences.
We make a great team and we see how little by little as time goes by CREA_tasting lab is taking off as a brand and as a catering reference that presents food in an original way and with a very particular aesthetic.
