While I tried a number of good restaurants in Barcelona during our recent holiday, I also had another great experience at a cooking class I took called ‘Papa Serra – Culinary Adventures in Barcelona’. I learned how to make what was quite possibly the best tapa I tried in Barcelona. It was chicken poached in wine and lemon then mixed with saffron yogurt, black grapes and toasted almonds. Then it was wrapped in a radicchio and lightly braised in the poaching liquid. Then we dipped it in a spice mix of fennel seeds, bee pollen and lemon zest. It was so delicious and a highlight of our holiday! I would definitely recommend it to anyone that loves Barcelona and wants to learn more about Spanish and Catalan food and culture.
Yummy! A friend of mine actually knows the chef behind this - he used to work in London. Will definitely have to check out his culinary adventures out next time I am in Barcelona! Would love to see any photos of the dish joshldn - sounds divine : )
Oooh, I just signed up for an 'adventure with papa serra'! We skipped the market tour and we are instead being taken into the hills around Barcelona to see where the chef gets his nuts and herbs. Wow! The photos on the website look so tasty - can't wait for some Spanish food and sun : )
