Notes
Alex Casorrán Galán
Alex Casorran belongs to a family of restauranteurs and he has an entrepreneurial spirit. He studied cooking because he appreciated that when the time comes to open a restaurant the most difficult thing was to find a cook with whom you can comfortably work together. He studied in the Escuela de Hostelería TOPI and completed his training with Jorge Cruz. Before beginning his own business adventure, he ran the kitchen of the restaurant Aragonia. Always aware of changing trends, he opened two cider bars, a tapas bar, a seafood establishment and finally Los Xarmientos, a restaurant specializing in Aragonese cooking.
The recipe of Rancho “Los Xarmientos” well as the Chef bio is an extract of the Golden Book of the Aragonese Cuisine first edition, an International Gourmand World Cookbook Award as the best book in Spanish in the “Local Cuisine” category.
