At Casa de María, a beautiful setting near Carmona, Gioconda Scott creates a vibrant atmosphere for culinary and cultural engagement. As an influencer in Seville's Slow Food movement, she skillfully combines cooking with artistic gatherings. The courtyard buzzes with family and friends as they savor the local flavors she expertly prepares, particularly highlighting the essential role of bread in Andalusian meals. The enchanting surroundings, filled with authentic elements like ancient granaries and a garden, set the stage for a unique dining experience that celebrates tradition and community.
In this enchanted spot, the house's owner, Gioconda Scott, appears. A cook, salonière and founder member of Seville's Slow Food movement, she is also the director of tonight's artistic gathering or tertulia.
'The bread is important,' explains Gioconda, whose house shelters ancient granaries and a Roman well behind the kitchen. 'No Andalucían will consider a meal complete without bread.'
Gabriel is pondering how best to rearrange the garden furniture, but the 'dirty-faced baps' require Gioconda's urgent focus at the wood-fired oven, which is her stock-in-trade.
Exuding glamour and energy, she chats to her assistant in the rapid-fire 'street' Spanish she learnt at her Andalucían village school while cooing at her baby in English.
