Sumario:The aim of this article is to analyze the relationships between haute cuisine chefs and to identify which elements of these relationships enhance the generation of ideas and the exchange of knowledge. A qualitative methodology is applied based on the analysis of in-depth interviews with almost the entire popu- lation of Michelin-starred chefs of Catalonia, Spain, an outstand- ing case in this sector. The findings show the most important elements of the relationships that drive the creation and transfer of knowledge. These elements can be differentiated between professional and personal aspects and classified as face-to-face or non-face-to-face. Admiration, recognition and collaboration are some of the examples of the effects derived from these relationships. The identified elements are important not only as sources of inspiration in creativity and innovation processes but also to create a professional and personal environment to colla- borate and achieve common objectives of the sector
