Cooking at the Chef’s House & Gastronomic Tour in Barcelona
An experience for gastronomes and culinary adventurers
By the hand of our local chef, savor and indulge with us
visiting the famous Boqueria market in Barcelona, get a few
Spanish and Catalan cuisine essentials and go to our
Chef’s house to prepare your food feast! Number for this
private cooking class is limited to a maximum of 6 people.
This is a chance to discover a traditional market with its
display of fruits, meats, fish,…. This experience will be pure
delight for your senses with the display of amazing colors
and subtle scents.
Discover the secrets of Mediterranean traditional cuisine, a cuisine that is reflected by its
territory: the sea provides the excellent fish and seafood so typical of the cooking of the coast;
the plain gives the produce of the field, the market gardens and the fruit orchards, from the hills
we receive meat, cheese, wild fruits and mushrooms. The mixture of all of these is what has
given our cuisine this variety of flavors and contrasts and gained it the name of “sea and
mountain” cooking.
Menu will vary according to season:
Gazpacho, potato omelette, chicken with prawns,
tomato bread, shellfish paella, Catalan cream, etc.
Once the tour is done, we will go to the Chef’s
house, where we will culminate the process by
cooking traditional delicacies that will be tasted
afterwards with a well deserved glass of wine.
Bring an extra bag to stock up on the Catalan
flavors and products that you’ll undoubtedly want to
bring home.
You get to eat what you make so… set the table!
Alternatively you can skip the market tour and dive straight into the Spanish cooking class.
