Lesson in Malaga at a Private Home

Lesson in Malaga at a Private Home

Try an utterly different experience in Malaga, and spend the day with a local family at their charming farmhouse, which is surrounded by olive, almond, orange, and fig trees, and which boasts a stunning patio with bougainvilleas and jasmine-covered walls. The bright and airy kitchen is where your hostess will introduce you to homestyle Spanish cuisine. Although not a professional chef, your hostess has spent her life learning the secrets of and developing a love for authentic local cuisine, and the chance to have this experience with a local family in their home is truly special.

Your day will begin at 10:30 with a cup of tea or coffee and a snack while your hostess begins the discussion of the recipes. Weather and season permitting, you will then travel out to the garden and orchard to pick some ingredients for your class: perhaps oranges, lemons, figs, pomegranates, almonds, wild asparagus, or fresh herbs . Your hostess believes in using only the freshest, most seasonal local ingredients, organic when possible. Back in the kitchen, your hands-on cooking class will focus on a starter and a main course.

As lunchtime in Spain is quite late, there will be small treats offered during the session, and afterwards you will enjoy your meal with the food just prepared, on the patio if possible, or in the kitchen by the fire during cooler months. Dessert, coffee and tea will be provided (your hosts will prepare the dessert in advance), as well as plenty of friendly conversation for the ‘sobremesa’! Your day will finish at 4:00pm.

The house is located in Malaga, easily reachable either by rental car, taxi, or city bus.

• Available 10:30AM – 4:00PM.
