A Romantic Sunday in Spain: Tapas Party for Two

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies at the bottom of this webpage.

"Weekend plans" seem a figment of history these days, but we're hoping to help with that! We're thinking of couples who want to spend some quality time at home (and perhaps romance!) in spite of confinement. We will prepare a simple and quintessential menu of tapas, which we suggest you enjoy alongside a Spanish movie (Camila recommends Vicky Christina Barcelona) or music (Camila recommends the flamenco guitarist, Paco de Lucía), and a glass of cava!

MENU

Gambas al ajillo  - Garlic Shrimp

Pa amb Tomàquet - Catalan Bread with Tomato

Marinated Olives 

Charcuterie Platter

Escalivada - Char-Roasted Mediterranean Veg

Camila Loew holds a Ph.D. in Humanities and is a certified nutrition consultant. Having lived alongside the Mediterranean for almost two decades, she believes that the best cooking relies on simple recipes with outstanding ingredients. That's the Mediterranean way she conveys in her classes, along with the concept of sobremesa, which happens to be the name of the company she runs. Sobremesa is the leisurely time we spend gathered around the table. In addition to running Sobremesa Culinary Tours, through which she offers delicious cultural and culinary experiences abroad for fellow food-lovers, Camila founded and directs the Food Studies & Gastronomy program at the University of Barcelona, and teaches academically about Mediterranean food culture to American students abroad. Since 2014, Camila has been sharing her love of regional Spanish and Mediterranean cuisines at 18 Reasons. For more information visit her website www.sobremesa.life
