The Mediterranean Diet & Lifestyle Cooking Class.

When people think of the word ‘Diet’ they think strict regime, no luxury, minimal taste, a quick fix, The Mediterranean Diet is so not this, it is more than a healthy eating recommendation, it is a way of LIFE.

A way of eating and lifestyle that is sunshine on a plate, enriches the soul and celebrates, local, fresh, seasonal produce, cooked and prepared simply and enjoyed in a relaxed manor, with family and friends.

The Mediterranean Diet, is healthy, vibrant, delicious and nutritious. No food group is denied, wine is even recommended, (drunk responsibly of course) !
On this Cooking Class experience, you will be able to soak up the atmosphere and environment at our mountain home La Rosilla. We will create a delicious lunch together, learn the benefits of each ingredient and diet recommendations. We will enjoy your creations alfresco under the grapevine or around the cosy dining table by the fire in winter.

We will start The Mediterranean Diet Cooking Class at La Rosilla at 11am. Fresh ground coffee or herbal tea, fresh squeezed juice and sweet treat will be offered whilst your day will be explained to you, along with the history and customs, gastronomy of Colmenar the Montes de Malaga and the Axarquia.
Your culinary adventure awaits, learning, indulging and creating together with your private group, cooking alfresco and in the La Rosilla kitchen. We will make together a four course lunch, all based around The Mediterranean Diet philosophy.
During the day, we will have tapas , taste local ingredients, create traditional seasonal dishes, sip and try wines, along with home-grown olive oils.
The dishes we create will be enjoyed Spanish style as a long leisurely lunch, alfresco on the grapevine-covered terrace, weather permitting, taking in the views to die for, or during winter months in front of a roaring fire in our country kitchen. It get’s frio in Spain too, especially in the mountains.
After Mint Teas and sobremesa, we will say ‘Hasta Luego‘, recipes and information pack will be forward by email.
