Event Information

Infused with aromatic ingredients like garlic, saffron and black pepper the recipes writen by the 18th century Spanish friar Juan Altamiras (The New Art of Cookery, 1745) are far from frugal. This Iberian inspired menu with Moorish influences will definitely excite the tastebuds with it’s piquant marinades and slow cooked estofados.
