Gourmet Catalunya
The trip was a success in every way. The hotel was charming and the class with Vicenç was so much fun! Eating what we had made on the little private terrace made it even more wonderful. We also ate at the restaurant that night and had the special tasting menu, which was decadent and incredibly special. Thank you for everything,

Epicurean Roads
Our visit to Spain was truly a trip of a lifetime, special because of the personal touch and expertise provided by Gerry Dawes because of his overall knowledge of Spain and the “Gerry connections.” Our experience of Spain was unconventional from the moment we arrived. We met so many “real” people that shared their businesses, their families, their love of Spain and their generosity with us. They opened their places of business and homes just to accommodate us which undoubtedly made every aspect of our trip memorable.
The food and wine we sampled were out of this world and returning home to reality, we have been unable to duplicate it…

Catalan Cooking in the Empordà
The cooking school in Madremanya was by far the best part of our Spanish trip. Vincenç was great as he didn’t just tell us about we were cooking but also explained all about Spanish cusine. We wish we couldve stayed at La Placa the whole time we were in Spain it was outstanding. The tour with Jordi was great especially the wine, ham and cheese tasting.
