Mediterranean Cookery Retreats on the Costa Brava
We're Suki and Steve, and this is our kitchen table in Girona, where the Pyrenees meet the sea. Mediterranean Food Journeys began as a simple idea: to show people the Mediterranean way of life, through its produce, its markets, and its slow, long lunches. Ours is a style in keeping with the Mediterranean itself: slow, intentional, and full of laughter. We host small cookery retreats, private cooking classes, and intimate catering along the Costa Brava, spaces always kept small enough for everyone to fit around one table.

Journeys, adventures, experiences, call them what you will.
We take you to beautiful locations, introduce you to interesting people, teach you new skills and surround you with exceptional food and wine.
The Mediterranean is home to an incredibly rich history and food culture, one that’s kept alive by passionate farmers, cooks, chefs, artisans, you & us.

"What a fabulous 6 days, a glorious way to immerse yourself in the joy of Mediterranean food and culture. A stunning location, delicious and generous food at every meal, Steve's expert teaching, Suki's cocktails, wine and hospitality, a wine tasting, olive oil tasting, a coastal walk with a picnic on the beach, the adventures came thick and fast. Not a week for a diet!"
Rachel Skingsley, Richmond
"A beautifully communal culinary experience, in a magical location. It was great to cook with other enthusiastic food lovers, and both Steve and Suki were such welcoming hosts with in depth knowledge about food, drink and local producers and delicacies."
Adam Bernstein
"Mediterranean Food Journeys is the perfect food and travel experience. Combining adventures in cooking from around the Med with great company, in the unbeatable setting of Torre Ronsat. Steve and Suki are warm and welcoming hosts and guides and have created a unique experience for cooks and food lovers."
Penny Parker,England
"I was lucky enough to go on a half week retreat in May this year. It was an amazing experience and much more luxurious than I was expecting. I particularly loved the olive oil tasting and making tortelloni and souffle. Caramelising the Creme Catalan with a hot iron was exciting! The pool was lovely and warm. I would recommend this retreat to family and friends."
Julia Shaw,Guildford
"Amazing experience. Beautiful surroundings, very welcoming and friendly team. Great itinerary, full enough but not overwhelming. Varied with walks, beaches, cooking, wine tasting, eating, swimming. Nice small group. Accommodation wonderful. Can't recommend this experience enough."
Mike Lewis, Scotland
