Highlights

Forn de sa LLotgeta (Former Deborah’s culinary island) - 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 and farmers to bridge your culinary experience with the most genuine artisanal food production of Mallorca. This experience allows for you to connect in a deep, sincere and immersive way with our culture and honor traditional local food. Located in the center of Palma, Mercado del Olivar is the largest typical market in the city. This stroll will allow you to delve in its vibrant 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 meal. Once in my atelier, we will start a hands-on cooking workshop to prepare a complete Mallorcan seasonal menu together. All the ingredients are locally and sustainably sourced. Please advise of any dietary requirements, we will do our best to accommodate the course to your needs.

Additional Information

Our relationship with nature has always been guided by concepts such as seasonality, local goods, modesty, harmony, and appreciation. At Forn de la Llotgeta, we acknowledge that ancient food customs can offer us profound insights that can assist us in tackling significant sustainability issues, including how we perceive our travel encounters. We cooperate with local growers and craftspeople, linking your gastronomic journey with Mallorca’s most traditional artisanal food production. By doing so, you will not only relish in the fruits of their laborious and passionate efforts, but you also have the chance to bring home the ingredients and materials used during the session to reconstruct the recipes and capture the distinctive flavors of Mallorca.

We encourage you to deeply, honestly, and personally engage with our historical culture to celebrate local cuisine and the dedicated producers and crafters who have a deep reverence for this island.

Please note: The market is not open on Sunday afternoons.

Participate! - It was a really great cooking class. Deborah gave us an insight into Mallorcan cuisine and culture, and she went into a lot of background information about the origin of the products, sustainable agriculture, etc. Her cooking studio is very authentic and inviting. We cooked three great dishes using regional and seasonal products.
