It is almost 6 pm on May 22th, when we leave the Rambla Catalunya for the small streets of the Catalan capital. Yves is waiting for us and warmly welcoming us to his Grandma’s Cooking cooking class to discover the secrets of gastronomic traditions. Let us tell you!

Here, the atmosphere is convivial! The group of about ten people is welcomed and presented to each other. All nationalities mingle; English, Spanish and French resonate in the room. Everyone allocates tasks to compose the daily specials: salmorejo, the esqueixada and a Catalan recipe with merluza.

During the workshop, Yves tells his story; his passion for sharing culinary tradition with a wide audience. Tradition and essence are the key words that forged this project. By calling on a Catalan “Grandma” at each of its courses, they share their knowledge together with the apprentices of the day. Today, we listen attentively to the advice of Marina, native of the Rioja.

Whether it is Veronica, Paola or Bart, the clerks of the day are listening. Interested, they all wish to deepen their knowledge of the Catalan culture. Yves explains that the participants are not just tourists, but more visitors. Mainly from the United States, Germany or France, they come throughout the year. Their presence during three to four hours per course demonstrates a real intention on their part to soak up the culture and the Catalan cuisine.

The preparations succeed one another and the succulent odors invade the kitchen. The dishes take shape and the table fills. The delicious soup from Córdoba based on tomato, the salmorejo, blushes, the esqueixada is colored using red and green peppers, olives … The dishes already start to delight the eyes before the papillae!

This workshop, whose essence is tradition, is held twice a day, at 11am and 6pm with Yves. For more information, do not hesitate to contact him through his website, Grandma’s Cooking!

Il est près de 18h le 22 mai 2017, lorsque nous quittons la Rambla Catalunya pour les petites rues de la capitale catalane. Yves nous attend et nous accueille chaleureusement à son cours de cuisine Grandma’s Cooking afin de découvrir les secrets des traditions gastronomiques. Laissez-nous vous raconter !

Ici, l’ambiance est conviviale ! Le groupe d’une dizaine de personnes est convivialement accueilli et présenté les uns aux autres. Toutes les nationalités se mêlent ; anglais, espagnol et  français résonnent dans la pièce. Chacun se répartit les différentes tâches afin de composer les plats du jour : le salmorejo,  l’esqueixada et une recette catalane à base de merluza.

Au fil de l’atelier, Yves nous raconte son histoire ; sa passion de partager la tradition culinaire avec un large public. Tradition et essence sont les maître-mots qui ont forgé ce projet. En faisant appel à une « Grandma »  catalane à chacun de ses cours, ils partagent ensemble leur savoir avec les apprentis du jour. Aujourd’hui, nous écoutons attentivement les conseils de Marina, originaire de la Rioja.

Que ce soit Veronica, Paola ou encore Bart, les commis du jour sont à l’écoute. Intéressés, ils souhaitent tous approfondir leurs connaissances sur la culture catalane. Yves nous explique que les participants ne sont pas de simples touristes, mais davantage des visiteurs. Provenant majoritairement des Etats Unis, d’Allemagne ou encore de France, ils viennent tout au long de l’année. Leur présence de trois à quatre heures par cours démontre une réelle intention de leur part de s’imprégner de la culture et la cuisine catalane.

Les préparations se succèdent et les succulentes odeurs envahissent la cuisine. Les plats prennent forme et la table se dresse. La délicieuse soupe de Córdoba à base de tomate, le salmorejo, rougit, l’esqueixada se colore à l’aide de poivrons rouges et verts, d’olives… Les mets commencent déjà à ravirent les yeux avant les papilles !

Cet atelier, dont l’essence est la tradition, se tient deux fois par jour, à 11 et 18h avec Yves. Pour plus d’informations, n’hésitez pas à prendre contact à travers son site internet, Grandma’s Cooking !
