The case describes the evolution of one of the world's most starred Chefs, who has managed to be successful in Spain and Japan, hand in hand with husband and son, by constantly innovating. The case opens during yet another reinvention - when she closes her flagship restaurant at its apex. In October 2018, Chef Carme Ruscalleda, the most-starred woman chef in the world at the time, closed the doors of her Restaurant Sant Pau (Sant Pau), as she had on almost every night for the past 30 years-this time for the last time. Ruscalleda had opened the restaurant in 1988 with her husband and partner. Sant Pau had a rating of three Michelin stars, the highest rating available to a restaurant through the well-known MICHELIN Guide to fine dining. Her other two restaurants-Sant Pau Tokyo, a sister restaurant in Japan, and Moments, in Barcelona's Mandarin Oriental Hotel-had two Michelin stars each. Many people-from the village and around the world-were sad to see the iconic restaurant close after so many decades. The case describes her approach to cooking, managing teams, dealing with stress, running a family business and constantly reinventing herself.
