— What to expect

Based over 4 nights and 3 days, this is an intensive Spanish Cooking Course. As a small group, the course includes a tapas tour, market visits, cooking classes and Sherry education. Sharpen your kitchen skills by day, and you’ll still have plenty of free time to relax and explore at night.

I’ve been running cooking courses and food holidays in Spain for over 15 years, and this course teaches you everything I love about Vejer and this region of Spain.

There will be a maximum of 8 people in any class, which will give you a more intensive experience.

This short-break Spanish Cooking Course makes a wonderful gift for foodies who would love an authentic food culture experience in a spectacular part of Spain. A perfect add-on to the beginning of Spanish travel plans, to get more out of menus, eating out, wine selection and local cuisine. Contact me with any questions.

If you do have more time, look at my 7-night Spanish culinary classics which includes a day in the Sherry Triangle, a day on a gourmet tour in Cadiz and a free day to explore Vejer.

— Day to day

Vejer de la Frontera

Day

Welcome: You will be immediately immersed in village life as we head out to get to know Vejer. Meet Annie B’s friends in the wonderful tapas bars of Vejer to sample some of the very fabulous dishes on offer.

Tapas in Vejer with Annie B

Vejer de la Frontera

Day

Spanish Day: Prepare to learn how to make some staple Spanish dishes such as Prawns in Garlic, Tortilla, Melon Gazpacho, Orange & Almond Cakes as well as some creative twists on the use of typical Spanish ingredients. From seafood to cured meats, expect locally produced Chorizo, various cuts of pork, seasonal salads and stews of fish & vegetables.

After lunch (at around 16.30) you’ll have free time: you can either kick back and relax at your hotel, sample some of the tapas bars with your new cookery course friends or simply watch the sunset from a plaza with a good glass of wine – the choice is yours.

Vejer de la Frontera

Day

Fish Day: No cookery course is complete without a guided trip to a typical fish market. We set off on a very short journey to El Mercado de Abastos (the main food market) in Barbate. While in the village (which is the tuna fish capital of Spain) we will visit a traditional preserved tuna shop that hasn’t changed for hundreds of years and learn about the Almadraba. El Mercado de Abastos is where the fisherman arrive back with their catch of the day – it just doesn’t get any more fresh and more local than this. After learning about all the fish and seafood that’s on offer at the market, we’ll select our fish for our evening fish & Paella feast.

After a short break, you’ll be expected back at Casa Alegre at 20.00 where you’ll learn the art of making a kitchen Paella. This evening is led by Pepi (Annie B’s No. 1 cook). Through the use of typical flavours and ingredients you’ll learn how to make a show-stopping – and utterly authentic – Paella.

Vejer de la Frontera

Day

Today is your Flavours of Morocco class. For over 600 years the Moors lived in Vejer and although all aspects of their culture were expelled in 1492, their legacy lives on through certain touches in the local cuisine. A delicious day mostly of vegetables with an added splash of chicken and perhaps fish. Lots of almonds and mint of course.

Here’s what they say

Four days of food heaven June 2024

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.

A great experience

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.

The perfect place to get to know the food and wine of Andalusía

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.
