Cooking in Bilbao

The class was really good. It was held in a restaurant that requires reservations-similar to one of the “cooking clubs” that was closed to women for years. It was going to be full for lunch so we not only got to see them prepare our meal but several others as well. It was interesting and informative to watch the chef work and be able to ask him questions. He made a sauce we had had a few days before and could not identify. Now we can make it-if we want to deal with salted cod. He also made pisto, the Spanish version of ratatouille. The Spanish, or really the Basque, have a different twist that we will now incorporate when we make the dish.

Wine Country Walking Tour

We want to thank you so much for the incredible experience. We truly loved it and have a special place in our hearts for Spain because of it. It was nice to get to know you and we really hope to get better acquainted in the future...perhaps for the “walking tour” again or another adventure!

Catalan Cooking in the Empordà

We LOVED La Placa.  Everything-the hotel and restaurant-was top notch.  We adored our tasting menu dinner (with fantastic wine) on the terrace.  Nothing short of phenomenal! Each dish was more delicious than the next!  Even the dessert was fantastic.  I know I will be craving another meal from Vincenç.  And speaking of Vincenç, he is an amazing chef and taught us some basic Catalan cooking that I will try to replicate at home.  We learned a lot from him.
