Our San Sebastián Trip in MIX Magazine
“We’ll bet you a fistful of spring morels that your last vacation wasn’t this good. You didn’t fashion your own treasure hunt through Spain, traipse from Michelin-starred restaurants in Catalonia to cooking classes in San Sebastian, eat pintxos…” Read more…

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.

Priorat Wine
Absolutley amazing. Your restaurant suggestions really made Barcelona even better. But just when we thought our trip couldn’t get any better, we arrived at Mas Figures. It was like a dream, and if we didn’t take pictures, I probably would not have believed we were really there. Rachel was very very nice. She knew so much about the history of the Priorat, and did such a great job selecting the wineries. We loved Ferrán too. We loved everyone and everything really. I can’t thank you enough.

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.
