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.

I have taken ten trips to Spain, but the best trip was the one Gerry Dawes orchestrated. His love and knowledge of the foods and wines of Spain are intoxicating. His ever present enthusiasm made my Spanish experiences with him memorable.

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…
