List

[edit]

Parellada was born in Granollers in 1967. Her whole family were interested in food from the restaurant founded by her ancestors in 1714.[1] Her parents wanted her to have a profession so she studied law. She opened her first restaurant when she was 25 in 1993. Her wider family own a number of restaurants.[2] She is very active in the media, in newspapers and television, and she runs workshops[1] and publishes cookery books.[3][4] She has also published a novel.[5]

She stood as a political candidate in September 2015 as part of the "Together for Yes" campaign.[6]

In 2016 she had three restaurants in Barcelona.[7] She was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi[8] because of her work in restoration. Her restaurants are called Semproniana (her first one), Pla dels Àngels and Petra.[1]
