Have you ever thought about when and why people started writing down recipes? Wondered why a certain dish is a specialty in a certain place? Tried to trace the origin of your favorite ingredient? Barcelona local Hannah has become an expert in all of the above by analyzing historic cookbooks and tracing ingredients back through time—and she can’t wait to share her wealth of knowledge with you.

She will introduce you to the first-ever European cookbook not written in Latin—in fact, it was written in a Catalan chef, considered a gastronomic leader at a time before Spanish classics like tomato and potato had even arrived in Europe.  You’ll learn about medieval cooking and have the chance to dive into it yourself, cooking the very first eggplant recipe that was written down in Europe at a time when eggplant had just arrived and it was a new and exciting ingredient. If you’d like, you can even cook along with her as she recreates one of the best recipes out of the book, starring some of the most popular ingredients from centuries ago which are still easy to source today. Here is the list of ingredients and the recipe if you’d like to cook along.

And of course, like all of our online experiences, you will receive a copy of the recipe as well as a special discount for our Recipes From the Devour Tours Kitchen cookbook so you can create even more delicious dishes at home!
