The best of Spanish regional food traditions and the new spirit of innovation in Spanish cooking and winemaking are presented through the website. Spain has been and continues to be a powerful influence in kitchens and at tables around the world, and Spanish traditions, products, and contemporary ideas influence food and wine developments internationally.

The Instituto Español de Gastronomía (IEG) project was launched in 2006 to promote a continuing education centre in Europe for the gastronomy and wine sectors, while at the same time promoting healthy eating habits. Chefs, cooks, food service professionals and corporations, food and beverage companies, hospitality sector suppliers, researchers, writers, journalists, and entrepreneurs all have their place at the Instituto Español de Gastronomía.
