SPANISH TRADITIONAL CUISINE WORKSHOPS

My passion for cookery comes from childhood.
Coming from a passionate big culinary family, I was astonished witnessing the transformational power of these places!

How many important things are/were happening there!! with, sometimes … ulter consequences in life: Confidences … businesses … gossips …deals … cries & laughs!
I secretely renamed them ‘The new social family gathering’ living-room … All packed together like in a sardine can! And when at best, like a shot in the vein of the best endorphins!, where everybody went out with a plus for better or worse: Emotions … Understandings, Misunderstandings … , Solutions, Lessons … Warm. So … moods, up & down!
Grandmas, aunties, mum, some men too, till the point that, from a child’s eye, what looked like ‘to-be-a-family-competition’ for the best meal’s title,  turned into years later,  a queue to eat the only thing I’d knew to cook for years, the Spanish omelette, having been predicted that If ‘marrying’ one day I’d be sent back home. By that time I was only looking for answers intellectually and so during years practicing only a subsistence’s kitchen. But, it’s very clear that … if you like eating, you need cooking! Or, put it in other words, if you want a gourmet result, you need to learn! Soon when forced to shop I discovered a world of senses that would never abandon me, falling once and again in love with and from then enrolling in multiple workshops that would always go together with the rest of my passions for art, culture, trips and human interaction.

I’m fascinated by the smells, colourful markets & and its idyosincracy. They are the first places I always visit and dive in. It’s amazing how economy, architecture, design, photography, history, antropologhy, psychology …meet together in this Mediterranean agora’s style colourful places.

Self-taught in practically everything, except the obliged yes-or-yes primary school teacher degree; natural curiosity, tenacity & passion did the rest. Feel lucky to have experienced 2 decades as a secretary, 2 as international art manager, 1 as English, Spanish & Catalan private teacher, mum and last ones as market opener in different fields. The art manager period provided lots of wonderful amazing stories, moments and people that most of the times were all happening around kitchens again and with a glass in hand. Time arrived later to give light to share the family traditional spanish recipes, their Influences, similarities, differences and backgrounds.

Awakening experiences & transferring emotions that move humandkind through the uniting & everyday necessary tasting pleasure.
