www.sbs.com - Spain through Frank Camorra’s eyes
“I first met Frank Camorra years ago, as I dunked churros into a puddle of chocolate at his Melbourne restaurant MoVida. Of course, this was long before the birth of MoVida’s offshoots Next Door, Aqui and Terraza. Today, I’m sipping sherry with him at Bodegas Sánchez Romate – one of the oldest sherry wineries in Jerez, a sherry town in the official wine region of Andalucia, Southern Spain.” – by Karen Reyment – 17th February 2011.
This happy photo of Frank Camorra was taken at Annie B’s Spanish Kitchen one sunny day October 2010. The tour group he was leading purchased the fish that morning at Jerez fish market and then headed to Annie B’s Spanish Kitchen where Frank created a fabulously fishy lunch. Frank’s book ‘Movida Rustica’ must be one of the best Spanish cookbooks on the market

“The orange trees in Los Remedios laden with glistening bright naranjas are one of the most evocative scenes in Vejer, especially following a bleak British winter. The juice is truly at its peak this time of year, rich with both vitamin C and the taste of the sunny climes that yielded the fruit.”

Travel Challenge: A cookery holiday in Andalucia – The Independent
“Joining in one of our fun-filled courses learning to create fast, fresh and fabulous Mediterranean dishes is much more than purely honing your cookery skills under the sun. Immerse yourself in the heart of the Moorish village of Vejer de la Frontera, visit fish markets, learn about sherry in a Jerez bodega, relax on Atlantic beaches, taste different wines with every meal and spend an evening crawling the tapas bars of this beautiful white hilltop village,” says Annie Manson of Annie B’s Spanish Kitchen.
