We have been running cookery workshops at the hotel
for over 5 years, and with the experience we have gained plus the feedback from
participants we are now going to be offering three different one day workshops;
- Asturian cuisine
- Farm to fork
- Posada del Valle's Food Specials
 |
| Andrés preparing "tortas" |
Asturian cuisine; Chef Andrés Caso.
Andres is from Cangas de Onis and comes from a family
of farmers who also used to make the local blue Gamonedo cheese. He studied cooking
in Asturias and has been working in the hotel for 5 years. In this food
experience Andrés will take you on a tour of a local food market (or around
some local shops if there is no market that day) and explain a little about the
Asturian food culture.

Then you will be cooking such typical dishes as Fabada
Asturiana (bean stew,) tortas (maize pancakes) and a tortilla de patata (Spanish
omelet.) You will then have time to sit down and enjoy all you have cooked with
a glass of local cider.

| Samantha examining some of the farm produce |
Farm to fork; Chef Samantha Burch
Samantha was
born in Alicante but has lived in Asturias for the last 18 years. She is an
excellent self taught chef specializing in vegetarian food. Her particular
interest is in vegetarian and vegan food and the creative use of local and home
grown produce. In this work shop you will have a guided visit of the hotel
vegetable garden, help pick some of the produce and then subsequently use it in
different imaginative ways.

| Imaginative recipes making the most of the home grown produce |
The particular recipes will depend on the time of
year and what’s growing on the farm and of course there will be time to sit
down and enjoy the food you have prepared with a drink.

Posada del
Valle's Food Specials; Chef JoAnn Burch
JoAnn studied cooking and worked as a chef in many different countries before
starting the restaurant at the hotel. Due to her experience, talent and work
the restaurant has gained the fame it is now renowned for. She has also trained other
chefs who have come to work and learn about the local and organic food we produce
at the hotel.

In this workshop you will learn how to prepare some of the most popular dishes
served at Hotel Posada del Valle as well as some different techniques which can
be used to create a variety of recipes. At the end of the morning there will be
the chance to sample the food you have prepared with a glass of wine.
