A perfect start to your Barcelona stay. During this private workshop you will have an inside look at Catalan culture and cuisine. I am not a native Catalan but I have a passion for the cuisine. If it is a bank holiday the covered markets are closed we will visit other local shops to purchase our ingredients. Learn how to make a quintessential Catalan meal and accompaniments. After we purchase our ingredients we go to my modern workshop-kitchen in the colorful, multi cultural area of Raval in Old Town. This is a true 'hands on' cooking class where you will participate in all food preparations. We will prepare six Traditional Catalan recipes. Two starters, two main dishes and two desserts. The feature dish is fideua (popular in Catalonia) a seafood paella made with pasta not rice. You will have my undivided attention. Recipes for each dish are available so you can recreate these dishes at home. When our preparations are completed we sit down and enjoy our efforts . . . with Cava of course. Join me to learn the secrets of this delicious cuisine. NOTE: Please advise of dietary needs. Seafood is included in this workshop.
