Maria Solivellas
Chef at Ca Na Toneta (Caimari, Mallorca, Spain)
From a corner on the island of Mallorca, Maria Solivellas brings her profession and traditions alive via her dishes. A commitment to rediscovering recipes, farmers and producers.
Before devoting herself to cooking, Solivellas worked for years producing shows, travelling the world with performers such as Chavela Vargas and Raimundo Amador. Placing herself at the helm of Ca na Toneta – the family restaurant – on her return, she started cooking food that was intimately linked to her land. Solivellas studies her surroundings and conveys it to her dishes in a way that is refined and directly related to the terrain and its farmers and producers.
Ca Na Toneta has been awarded a Green Star by the Michelin guide.
