What you'll do
Cook like a true Tossa fisherman!
We would like to invite you into our typical Tossa flat to learn all about the wonderful history and how to prepare Tossa de Mar's most famous and signature dish....Traditional Tossa Fisherman's "Cim i Tomba"!
First we'll meet and learn a little village history at the fisherman's Socors Chapel in town center Plaça Espanya. Next, a short walk to our nearby flat, where we will get to know each other over a pre-meal local vermut aperitif. From there, we'll move to the kitchen and learn how to prepare and cook a delicious fish stew, made famous in Tossa by our local "Pescadors". Cooked in the traditional ceramic pot, this "people's dish" is simple yet flavorful and delicious!
To complete our meal, we will teach you the secret of making the perfect hand-turned allioli...a true art, and the necessary final ingredient to top off our Cim i Tomba.
Finally, after enjoying a great meal we've made together (accompanied by a local wine!) we will finish with teaching you the traditional art of making a fisherman's hot rum Cremat! A blend of coffee, citrus and spices...mixed with rum and burned with fire, this sweet and amazing drink is a fisherman's staple and makes the perfect digestive after a hearty meal!
We hope that by the time you leave, you will have a new love and appreciation for the wonderful history, culture and traditions of Tossa life!

Rick and Lilu are the best hosts ever! Do not hesitate to book a class!
We cooked an authentic Cim i Tomba, guided by their experience and the wisdom from generations of locals who shared their tips, opinions and expertise, all of which Rick and Lilu recounted with enthusiasm.
With their classes, you get a true feel for the town and the region, and understand their deep appreciation for the local culture. This is a cooking experience, but also a social experience. You'll cook, learning a true locals' dish, but also share vermouth, wine, and stories over the course of the class.
I came away from the class with an ability to recreate delicious dishes, but also a depth of knowledge of place and culture that is difficult to find otherwise.
