What our clients say

“Joe showed us a part of traditional Catalan cuisine from an original and innovative point of view; I can only say that both the other attendees and I were amazed by his culinary and communication talent. It was an enriching and fun experience that I recommend to anyone interested in gastronomy.”

About Me

“Originally from the south of England but now well-established in Barcelona, I have been passionate about food and cooking from a young age.
I arrived in Barcelona in 1997 and started teaching English at private language schools. A few months later, I joined a multinational company, holding various management roles.

Meanwhile, I continued discovering new and exciting local dishes and recipes. After several years, I felt it was time to make my passion more central in my life, and thus, combining my work as a trainer, my time in ‘big pharma,’ and my love for food and cooking, I started my own business to offer workshops and courses based on gastronomy for people with hungry minds and stomachs.“
