gastronomic experiences

This year Steve will be running a variety of 1 day courses and experiences in the alpujarra region of Andalucia which can be enjoyed as indiividual days or linked together to create a longer gastronomic holiday: including a Paella masterclass, tapas workshop, Granada market visit and tapas trail, mastering Spanish seafood and Andalucian classics. Each experience will last 4-6 hours and includes all ingredients, lunch or dinner, drinks and transport where necessary. You can get as hands on as you like in the kitchen or just sit back with a glass or two and watch

join us for a fun, relaxed day, leaning something new, eating delicious food, sampling great wines and meeting like minded people in lovely surroundings.

Paella prep_compressed.jpg — Much more than a just cookery course!

My husband and I have just returned from Spanish Gastronomic Holidays' 7-day Andalucian Gourmet trip and, quite simply, it was among the best holidays we've ever had! Steve French, our guide and instructor was brilliant: full of enthusiasm and knowledge about Spanish cuisine, but also an immensely patient and easy-going teacher.
**If you’re looking for an enjoyable, relaxing holiday that combines cooking, culture and a bit of sight-seeing, then look no further.**

Small groups and private reservations

Full schedule, dates, and reservations will be available from June 2025, and we look forward to welcoming you on one of our mouth-watering gourmet days soon!

In all there were 6 of us and Steve involved everyone from the start. The day was great fun and very informative. Steve’s relaxed and inclusive style meant everyone felt at ease from the start. We all did things we’d never done before, including prepping squid, cuttlefish and artichokes. We cooked numerous dishes, drank some wine, laughed a lot and at the end Steve cooked a huge traditional paella for a late lunch. **We all loved it, and will definitely be back!**

Buying food 1_compressed.jpg — Marvellous introduction to Spanish cuisine

Just returned from the “7 day Andalucian gourmet trip” in Lanjaron. We had the most amazing holiday – a combination of entertainment and education. Steve French proved a fantastic guide to both the geography, history and food of the Alpujarras and beyond. We left Britain as novice cooks as far as Spanish food is concerned, and returned full of confidence to make gazpacho, paella, tortillas and more!
**One of the most fascinating and enjoyable holidays we’ve had for many years**.
