Fish and seafood play a very important role in Mediterranean cuisines; after all, the Mediterranean region is named after a sea! Nowadays, there is much debate on how much and how often we should eat fish and seafood, for our own health and the planet's. In this class, Camila will highlight sustainability from the sea, sharing with us the better options to cook with. The menu will be complemented with a vegetable dish and a dessert typical from the Balearic islands, which Camila considers the epitome of Mediterranean cuisine.
