FOOD & WINE ADVENTURES IN SOUTHERN SPAIN
Where will your journey begin?
Authentic Andalusian Slow Food Culture – for people who love local food.
The best way to appreciate the culture of any area is through its food and its wine, and nowhere is that truer than of southern Spain. Here you will find the Mediterranean diet at its very best.
Where I am based in Vejer de la Frontera, 95% of what you consume with me has zero miles. It is an authentic slow food culture. All fish, meat, cheese, fruit, vegetables and wine coming from this unique region of Cadiz.
I’m Annie B and I would love to share my passion for all that’s delicious in this superabundant gourmet paradise with you through my Spanish cooking holidays, day classes & culinary tours.

A Passion For Authentic Andalusian Slow Food Culture
Based in beautiful Vejer de la Frontera, on the Costa de la Luz in Cadiz Province, Andalusia, my food and wine filled small group cooking holidays, culinary tours & cooking classes give you a unique insight into our authentic Spanish slow food culture. With creative hands-on classes using all local ingredients, a hint of exotic Moroccan flavours and more than just a splash of Spanish/local wine and Sherry, you will create authentic Spanish “slow food”.
With a relaxed and fun atmosphere the cooking classes are the ideal food experience, even for non-cooks! When you come to one of my Spanish cooking courses, you’ll spend your days cooking up a storm, whilst at night you can explore Vejer’s tapas bars and restaurants before returning to a beautiful boutique hotel. Your free days can be spent exploring beautiful Vejer, having lunch in Tangiers or simply stretched out on one of the stunning nearby beaches.
In addition to my set courses, which are all English speaking, I also offer bespoke small group culinary tours exploring this area of southern Spain which remains relatively undiscovered. From visits to Sherry wine bodegas and vineyards to tapas tours and day trips to Tangier, every element handpicked and managed for you. I am also a go-to source for culinary trips to Menorca & Morocco.

Here’s what they say
We had the great privilege of spending four days with Annie, it was truly excellent. We had a deep immersion into Andalusian food, we shopped the tuna fish markets of Barbate, we cooked many local and Moroccan dishes, we tested copious amounts of delicious sherry and vino, we laughed a lot. Above all we became better cooks under Annie’s expert guidance. Annie’s courses are all about generosity, the extraordinary meals at the end of a days cooking, the tips and techniques and the free flowing ideas. She opened her kitchen to us and we loved every minute.
The Almadraba was an outstanding experience! Annie's connections to the community got us super close to the ships practicing this ancient tuna harvesting technique -- updated to be more humane and provide much better quality. We learned a lot from her and ship captain Ignacio. After, we feasted multiple times at fine restaurants -- on the prized tuna rojo -- drank lots of Jerez/Sherry, and took part in the Ruta del Atún in Zahara. We shopped at the Barbate market then cooked in her kitchen, and were treated to a pleasant flamenco on her roof terrace. Annie's understanding of the culture is deep and her organizational skills are top-notch, frequently having to adjust in-flight due to the tides, restaurant availability, etc. A great experience, it exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to join her on a subsequent tour.
Annie b's spanish kitchen (with a wee dram of scottish thrown in) is the perfect place to get to know the food and wine of andalusía and make the acquaintance of a passionate educator and ambassador for the south of spain. spend a few days with her, cooking and feasting on the local tuna and you'll never wield a tin opener again.
