'Food in Progress' is the format through which Jesús Camacho invites renowned pastry chefs from around the world to transfer their techniques—usually associated with the world of sweets—to the savory realm. It's a day-long workshop that combines learning with a gastronomic experience, aimed at professionals, students, and food enthusiasts who want to explore new methodologies and creative approaches to pastry applied to cooking.

Alongside him will be Jesús Camacho, chef of the Donaire restaurant. His beginnings in the world of pastry profoundly shaped his style, allowing him to develop his own culinary language in which sweetness is naturally integrated into the savory universe. For Camacho, this initiative has special value because “it seeks to bring haute patisserie to the Canary Islands and enrich us with knowledge like Ricard's. It is also a magnificent opportunity for people who, for various reasons, cannot travel to see the world's leading pastry chefs.”

Ricard Martínez brings a pioneering career to this edition: he created the world's first pastry restaurant, a milestone that redefined the pastry chef's role in the gastronomic experience. Furthermore, his role as a guest judge on MasterChef has solidified his recognition among the general public, without losing sight of research and cutting-edge pastry techniques.
Within this framework, 'Wine In Progress' also stands out, a parallel proposal focused on experimentation and learning about the world of wine, inviting relevant personalities in the world of wine worldwide to share with the Donaire team.
