Catalan Culinary Class in Bay Area October 11, 2007
Brisbane, California 94005
At a time when Spain’s gastronomic landscape is in the national spotlight, the Ferrer Wine Estates of Spain have once again joined forces with Daniel Olivella of B-44 Restaurant for an educational series on cuisine from the region of Catalunya. Encompassing the vibrancy and ingenuity inherent in the area surrounding Barcelona, Catalan cooking naturally takes its cues from up in the mountains to deep in the Mediterranean Sea. The cuisine may incorporate many foods that are familiar to residents of the Bay Area but the robust flavors of Catalan cuisine are a sensory hurricane that will set your taste buds tingling with delight!
Date: Thursday, October 11, 2007 from 6 pm – 8 pm.
