Crema Catalana

Creme Catalana, which translates to Cantalan Cream, is a popular dessert in Costs Brava. Similar to Crème Brûlée, this dessert has a unique flavor profile thanks to the addition of cinnamon and orange.

What a fun way to learn about the culture! I love taking cooking classes and this one looks like it was really fun and productive.

Fun, productive and tasty!

Yum! I so want to try the tomato bread. That looks divine. I’d definitely be up for trying it with anchovies.

We can’t stop eating the Pan Con Tomate! It’s so easy to make and tastes so good.

OMG I love Crema Catalana! There was a place that made a great one here in Orlando that closed recently. I’ll have to give this recipe a try and see if I can come close.

Please let us know how the recipe turns out!

Looks amazing we are headed to Barcelona tomorrow actually to enjoy some the food and sights. The Crema Catalana looks amazing and something we will set out try as we have been having the most amazing creme brulee in Lisbon this week.

Depending on how long you’re in Barcelona, you should plan a day trip to Girona – it’s just a 38 minute train ride away. We love it here!

I love cooking classes and this looks like a fabulous one! Awesome that you snagged the recipe too – I love creating exotic dishes from far flung corners of the world and have a stack of recipes from loads of cooking courses to pick from 🙂 Vicki Louise recently posted…10 Reasons To Visit Namibia in 15 Stunning Photographs

Cooking classes are a great way to learn about a culture while making and eating tasty food. Like you, we’ll be doing more of these in the future. And, yes, this was a fabulous one.

I’d love to spend my birthday in Barcelona next year and I’m thinking about a day trip to Girona as well. I’d love to attend a cooking class too, as I absolutely love Catalan food 🙂 Vlad recently posted…A Quick And Minty Journey To Morocco

What a great way to spend your birthday! As for the cooking class, we definitely recommend Tots a Taula!

YUM!! This is my kinda cooking class. The tomato bread looks amazing and the ratatouille with poached egg, hell yes!

Melody – You would definitely love this cooking class. Now that you know where Girona is, you need to plan a trip!

OMG I loved Pan Con Tomate when visiting Costa Brava! I’d never have thought of adding anchovy to the paste. I’m going to try that this week!!!!

We learned to just put an anchovy on top of the pan con tomate as opposed to in the paste, though that sounds tasty too. Please let us know how your version tastes.

This would be so much fun. I love cooking and pan con tomate is one of my favorite things that has been shared with me by traveling foodie friends. Maybe I’ll try for doing some cooking classes on a trip… cuz I would be all up for it!

Catalan cuisine is the best! Love your crema catalana take, and the pan con tomate. I actually really like eggplant, so thumbs up for that too! Danni Lawson recently posted…Bangkok Layover Tour Guide- No-Extra-Cost Mini Layover in Thailand!

Wow, that tomato bread is really interesting, never heard of anything like that. I do love this: ” We also sliced, diced and stirred, enabling us to take 3% of the credit for the wonderful dishes that we ate with gusto after the three-hour class.” 3% credit, ha! Hope you enjoyed some good cider or wine, too!

Oh yes, we enjoyed excellent Montsant wine. Catalan wine is as good as the food.

I love how hands-on cooking classes are – really takes the culinary experience of a new destination tot a totally different level. Sounds like you had a fabulous time! I swear the teachers who run these classes are magicians though lol because I do a wonderful job when I’m there but then can never replicate the recipes at home!
