Itinerary
Some of the most revolutionary chefs in Spain are based in Catalonia. This area in North-Eastern Spain is one of the most influential culinary regions, especially for modern Spanish cuisine. We propose some time off from conventional tourism, to teach you the secrets of Catalonia’s culinary masters.
Your instructor is Monica, a professional cook who has successfully worked as head chef for a number of well-known restaurants and hotels. The idea is to combine regional and exotic ingredients with the most innovative cooking techniques and personal creativity. The preparation will produce as much pleasure as the eating itself: exciting flavors, textures, and colors combine to make you enjoy every minute, from preparation to the last bite of dessert!
Featured chefs include the internationally acclaimed Ferrán Adriá, considered by many as the most revolutionary chef in the world; his cooking is based on the combination of texture, temperature, and taste - with a touch of humor. In the words of superstar French chef Paul Bocuse: “He’s doing the most exciting things in our profession today”.
Also featured is Carmen Ruscalleda, chef of the 3 Michelin-starred Sant Pau restaurant, and its sister restaurant in Tokyo. Based on her creative interpretation of the Catalan culinary tradition – always combing sweet and savory, fish and meat, hot and cold, vegetables and fruits - Carmen has developed recipes that are both complex and balanced. Some of them are presented in our cooking class.
This unique experience takes place in a private home in a quiet quarter, North of Barcelona. Lovely surroundings for a charming penthouse with a large kitchen and wonderful terrace overlooking the Tibidabo Mountain. After the three hours of hands-on cooking class in a completely relaxed atmosphere, the best part is you can enjoy lunch or dinner based on the prepared recipes, accompanied by fine Spanish wine, of course…
This unique culinary experience will add a very special touch to your vacation!
