COOKING COURSESTariff page

If you have a passion for good food, why not try cooking courses with your partner or friends and learn the basic skills of cooking or brush up your existing talent with a professional chef in a casual manner (it is NOT a learn to cook course, it is intended SOLELY to enjoy a few days of cooking some sensational dishes that you have always wanted to see how it is done and to have a bit of fun)


IN BRIEF

We offer cooking courses to small groups of people (up to 4 people).
Hands on cooking courses lead by a friendly, informative professional chef.
Historical and cultural backgrounds of ingredients or recipes are discussed.
Traditional and modern culinary techniques are taught.
Cook together 3-course menus (or 5 tapas recipes for a Tapas Course).
We cook seasonally, using the freshest ingredients picked directly from our organic vegetable garden or fruit trees, or sourced from our neighbouring farms.
Our speciality is Spanish, Andalusian and generally Mediterranean cuisine (but by prior arrangements, we can teach you almost anything you wish).
Enjoy sampling what the participants have achieved at the end of the day.
