Seasonality, local products, austerity, harmony with nature, gratitude are values that have inspired our relationship with nature from time immemorial. At Forn de la Llotgeta we believe that traditional food cultures are a great source of knowledge to help us address major sustainability challenges, including the way we experiment our travel experiences.

In this workshop, our cultural approach to cooking will allow you to explore Mallorca’s finest terroir, typical dishes and culinary traditions following family recipes and the island’s food calendar: from key seasonal ingredients to iconic products, all paired with organic wines and a sustainable food ethos.

We collaborate with small producers & farmers to bridge your culinary experience with the most genuine artisanal food production of Mallorca. You will not only enjoy the taste of their passionate and hard work but also have the opportunity to take with you the ingredients and materials used during the workshop for you to replicate the recipes and bring home the authentic taste of Mallorca.

We have create this experience for you to connect in a deep, sincere and immersive way with our culture and honor traditional local food. Our open groups are kept very small with a maximum of 8 pax, to offer you an intimate experience. If you prefer full exclusivity, the courses can also be made private from 2 to15 pax and are subject to availability. The courses are not recommended for kids under 10, but they are welcome in private groups.

Located in the center of Palma, only 10 minutes away from my atelier, Mercado del Olivar is the largest typical market in the city. This stroll will allow you to delve in its vibran Mediterranean atmosphere. We will go through its fruit, fish and other delicacies stall, meet the vendors and source some of the ingredients that we need for our workshop.

Once in my atelier, we will start a hands-on cooking workshop to prepare a complete Mallorcan seasonal menu together. Including an aperitif, a starter, a main a dessert and of course local wine.
