The Mediterranean Diet & Lifestyle Cooking Class.

About this tour

Learn to cook authentic Spanish dishes at La Rosilla, a mountain home in Spain, over three and a half hours. This class moves beyond diet-as-deprivation: you'll discover how Mediterranean eating celebrates seasonal ingredients, generous portions, and wine enjoyed responsibly. Work alongside your host to prepare lunch from scratch, understand the nutritional story behind each component, then eat what you've made outdoors beneath grapevines or by the winter fire. Food here is meant to nourish body and community alike.

Highlights

• Cook lunch from scratch with local seasonal produce
• Learn ingredient benefits and Mediterranean nutrition principles
• Eat your creations alfresco or fireside at La Rosilla
• Wine included; understand its place in the lifestyle
• Mountain setting with traditional Spanish hospitality
• Snacks, water, and soft drinks throughout

What to expect

You'll arrive at the mountain property and move into the kitchen alongside your host. Expect hands-on preparation of a proper three-course meal using techniques that favour simplicity over complexity. You'll discuss why each ingredient matters—olive oil, tomatoes, seafood, whatever's in season—and how they fit together nutritionally and flavour-wise. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a race. Once cooking finishes, you'll sit down together to eat in whatever space suits the weather and season: garden under vines in summer, by the fire when it's cold. Drinks flow throughout.
