Barcelona Wine Week 2023 is in full swing, and today I was lucky enough to attend the Omakase – sushi and cava pairing – led by Michelin chef David Arauz at Zuara Sushi, with DO Cava pairings by sommelier Álvaro Prieto. On this blustery February morning, a mere handful of attendees were invited to try the Omakase concept of letting the chef guide us. Seeing as this is Barcelona and at 10.30h, at a wine fair, such a thing could still be classed as “breakfast”- we were given final warning that raw fish and cava would be on the cards as we embarked on our tasting. I have loved the Japanese diet ..read more

If you’re reading this, then like me, you are a big fan of paella. Do you also want to know how to cook a great paella? I run paella cooking classes at Savour Academy in Barcelona, where I teach you the art of this classic Spanish dish. In 2022 I earned my diploma from Escuela Hofmann, the only culinary school with a Michelin star in Barcelona. The course, specialising in paellas and arroces (rice dishes) meant that inevitably afterwards, a few friends asked me: “What’s the Secret to a Good Paella?” At first, I thought it was hard to sum up all of this paella cooking experience as just one thi ..read more

This just in! If you are interested in attending a wine tasting where we “taste the terroir” of five local, ecological or biodynamic wines from Barcelona’s surrounding wine country, this is the one for you. After a quick introduction on Spain’s wine history and Catalan wine making practices, we will take a quick olfactory exercise in blind-smelling aromas found in wines.

Why is our Sangria & Tapas Cultural Workshop one of the most popular activities to do in Barcelona? It might be because we combine culture and a touch of craziness with an insightful food and wine experience. So this spring you can book one of several different timeslots to join the class. Learn about the history of sangria making, as we “style” two very different sangria cocktails from old and new eras. This is a cocktail class with a twist! Each jug of sangria is paired with tapas from that era, and I’ll show you how to make some local, seasonal varieties as well. Vegans and vegetarians ..read more
