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.

Gourmet San Sebastián

I just wanted to let you know how delighted we were with our cooking class in San Sebastian. Chef Haritz did an incredible job of exposing us to what San Sebastian has to offer on a deeper, market-driven level—and made our day with him at the market and cooking class the highlight of our trip.

By introducing us to various fish mongers, farmers, produce importers, and specialty food shopkeepers, we gained a greater understanding of how Donosti chefs acquire the raw products for their culinary creations. Later, the dishes we prepared during our cooking class were inspired by what we selected at the market in the morning—improvised and truly driven by what was fresh and in season. His friendliness, professionalism, culinary knowledge, and sincere enthusiasm in helping us learn about gastronomy in San Sebastian were outstanding.

We typically shy away from organized tours, but we were so impressed with our Epicurean Ways experience that we will definitely “travel” with you again whenever we go to Spain.

Madrid, Ribera del Duero, Barcelona and Priorat

Just returned from a fabulous trip to Spain. Thanks to Jane and her superb connections with great tour guides, my husband and I enjoyed a trip of a lifetime! We visited 7 wineries, learned much about Spanish wines, history (including my Sephardic Jewish ancestory) and culture and ate delicious food. The arrangements and accomodations were perfect. Will go back, hopefully soon!
