It’s been a while since I did anything on cooking….and this has long been a site that tries to cover the whole gamut of travel opportunities from language classes to paddling to camping to, well, cooking school. And so here we go.
I am going to guess you’ve never considered going to Catacurian Cooking School. You probably don’t even know what it is. I confess I didn’t. Well, it’s a place to learn to secrets (and there are many) of Catalan Spanish cooking, all easily doable within a week or so. The course takes place in El Masroig, a tiny mountain village in the Priorat region of Catalonia in Spain. You are given a elegant little room and your hosts are experts in the ancient cuisine of the Catalans. This means lots of barbecue and seafood and, of course, wine. Here’s a list of the courses you will learn how to serve.
