Dinner was AMAZING tonight!! I may be biased because I did help make it. CIS treated us to a Catalan cooking class and I LOVED it. I cant tell you all how much I loved this class. I can talk about this forever.
The chef was awesome! His name was Chef Ignacio and he reminded me of a cartoon character. He was so animated (no pun intended). He was sarcastic and quirky and we spoke to him in Spanish the entire time. It was good practice. I did not leave his side. I was quite the teachers pet. As soon as I put on the apron, I didn't stop. All of the information was like a drug and I wanted to keep learning more and more.
My favorites were the Paella, Potato Omlette and Tomato Bread. All of these recipes are amazingly simple. I am amazed that classes like this are offered to tourists. If we do end up going to Italy, I want to take an Italian cooking class. I think that would be so much fun!
