Ca: El sol de l'hivern escalfava suaument la ciutat de Barcelona.
En: The winter sun gently warmed the city of Barcelona.

Ca: Júlia i Marc caminaven pel Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, un lloc famós per la seva energia vibrant i colors llaminers.
En: Júlia and Marc were walking through the Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, a place famous for its vibrant energy and tempting colors.

Ca: Júlia, amb la seva llarga llista de la compra a la mà, ja estava concentrada en trobar els millors ingredients per a un sopar familiar molt especial.
En: Júlia, with her long shopping list in hand, was already focused on finding the best ingredients for a very special family dinner.

Ca: "Marc, has de veure això!
En: "Marc, you have to see this!"

Ca: " cridava Júlia mentre es movia entre les parades de fruites de coloraines, verdures fresques i peixos que lluïen com si acabessin de sortir del mar.
En: Júlia shouted as she moved between the colorful fruit stalls, fresh vegetables, and fish that shone as if they had just come out of the sea.

Ca: Marc la seguia amb un somriure desenfadat, gaudint del bullici i la música dels venedors que oferia productes amb entusiasme.
En: Marc followed her with a relaxed smile, enjoying the hustle and the music of the vendors enthusiastically offering their goods.

Ca: "Júlia, no et posis nerviosa.
En: "Júlia, don't get nervous.

Ca: El sopar sortirà perfecte," deia Marc, intentant relaxar la seva germana més gran.
En: The dinner will be perfect," Marc said, trying to calm his older sister.

Ca: Però Júlia era una perfeccionista, i sabia que la seva família esperava una cosa especial.
En: But Júlia was a perfectionist, and she knew her family expected something special.

Ca: A més, volia impressionar al seu germà que la visitava després de molt de temps.
En: Moreover, she wanted to impress her brother, who was visiting after a long time.

Ca: Mentre Júlia buscava espàrrecs verds i ceba tendra, es va trobar amb una vella coneguda dels mercats, la senyora Rosa, la qual li va recomanar una cosa que Júlia no tenia a la llista: bolets de temporada.
En: While Júlia was searching for green asparagus and spring onions, she ran into an old acquaintance from the markets, Mrs. Rosa, who recommended something that wasn't on Júlia's list: seasonal mushrooms.

Ca: "Aquests bolets són únics.
En: "These mushrooms are unique.

Ca: Donaran al teu plat un toc màgic," va explicar la senyora Rosa amb un somriure acollidor.
En: They will give your dish a magical touch," explained Mrs. Rosa with a welcoming smile.

Ca: Júlia va dubtar.
En: Júlia hesitated.

Ca: Això significava trencar la seva rutina i provar alguna cosa nova.
En: This meant breaking her routine and trying something new.

Ca: Mirà a Marc buscant suport.
En: She looked at Marc for support.

Ca: Marc, que mai deixava passar l'oportunitat per una aventura culinària, li va dir: "Va!
En: Marc, who never passed up an opportunity for a culinary adventure, said to her, "Come on!

Ca: Prova-ho.
En: Try it.

Ca: Si hi ha un lloc per experimentar, és aquí.
En: If there's a place to experiment, it's here."

Ca: "Júlia es va deixar convèncer.
En: Júlia was convinced.

Ca: Va comprar els bolets, preguntant a la senyora Rosa quins eren els millors i com podien cuinar-se amb el que ja tenia pensat.
En: She bought the mushrooms, asking Mrs. Rosa which were the best and how they could be cooked with what she had in mind.

Ca: A poc a poc, el mercat, amb les seves olors i sons, començava a relaxar-la, i una nova emoció la omplia mentre pensava en el talent culinari que estava a punt de desplegar.
En: Slowly, the market, with its smells and sounds, began to relax her, and a new excitement filled her as she pondered on the culinary skill she was about to showcase.
