#XLCOOKERYWORKSHOP … enjoy it from the very beginning.
XL Cookery Workshop is an extended version of the previous workshop. We begin at 9:30 in the morning as we visit the marketplace (price includes transportation) and buy the products we will be using in the dish preparation. Once back in the Quinta de San Amaro, we will taste local wines and cheeses (appetizer), and then the professor and the pupils begin the cooking activities aimed to savour the freshly cooked product. The workshop is finalized with a Galician ¨queimada.¨
Price per person….100 euros
This workshop can only be organized for a closed group and for a minimum of 4 people. The marketplace visit can be exchanged for a boat ride in the Ria. This way we can learn about shellfish extraction and the cultivation of the “jewels” of the Ria. We will discover a corner of the Comarca of O Salnes.
Important: This workshop cannot be given on Sunday, Monday and Festive since the market is closed.
