Professional Cooking Classes in Tenerife

Hannah 8 November 2013

Now I will be the first to say that food for me is a big part of my holiday experience. Alongside the sights and sounds of a destination, the food is a great way to truly experience a place and its culture. From the history behind traditional dishes, local delights to modern infusions there is no doubt that food is a big part of any holiday.

My love of cooking travels with me abroad from cooking in self-catered accommodation to having food cooked for me in delightful hotel restaurants, it is something which I fully enjoy. Thus, what could make Tenerife luxury holidays more perfect than a stay in a beautiful hotel with top cooking classes?

Exquisite a la carte

The stylish five-star IBEROSTAR Grand Hotel Mencey located close to Santa Cruz offers exquisite fine-dining in its restaurants, plus exclusive cookery courses for its guests.

The Los Laureles restaurant is located between the spa and the garden is perfect for those looking for the lighter, healthier option after a relaxing spa treatment. For those wanting to experience an exquisite market menu then the Los Menceyes Restaurant boasts a range of options including a la carte specialities and tasting menus. The Casino Restaurant is perfect for those feeling lucky, serving a la carte specialties for dinner.
