The Roca Awards highlight gastronomic literature in all its manifestations and aim to become a reference point at both the national and international levels. An annual celebration of culture and gastronomy at the highest level, supported by the invaluable backing of the Roca brothers, from El Celler de Can Roca, and the beautiful city of Girona.
Culture and food are two sides of the same coin, and we believe it is essential for writers and journalists specializing in this field to have a space where their extraordinary work is recognized and rewarded. Recipe books, essays, biographies, fiction, articles—any work that has gastronomy as its focal point is eligible to receive an award.
The Roca Awards arise from the conviction that gastronomy is a prestigious literary and journalistic genre, nd it deserves our gratitude and recognition. These awards, granted by a prestigious jury in Girona, are our way of celebrating it.
