Cooking class
Food is an important part of tourism. While asking travelers priorities during their trips, I have had people tell me before that food is absolutely not a priority for them. I get dissapointed when I hear that. Why? I am a foodie. I believe in Food as a way to understand a culture and the history of any destination, but in particular, Spain. The reason for that is the amount of influences in raw materials and techniques that our country has received over the milenia from cultures like the Jewish, Islamic, Roman, Greek, Germanic, Iberian, etc. Combine that with the influences of the Americas since the conquest and you have a complex food mosaic that give today world reputation to our cuisine.
If you are visiting Madrid and would like to have an insight into the history of tapas, how to prepare some traditional tapas in the company of someone who loves her job as a chef, don’t hesitate to contact Gabriela, as she will help you remember and most likely become hooked to Spanish food.
You can read a recently printed article by Alasdair Baverstock on her Spanish cooking class to have another point of view.
If you are interested in a cooking class and are planning a trip to Madrid, contact Gabriela. You will not be disappointed. She can adjust to different scenarios and menus, take you to the market, have you cook with her or just observe. In any case you will end up tasting amazing food cooked in a simple and traditional way with lots of care and love.
