Annie B's Spanish Kitchen

I spent a week with Annie B in her Spanish Culinary Classics course, fully immersed in the food, wine, and culture of Andalucía—and it exceeded every expectation. Annie is a true tour de force: her energy and enthusiasm are boundless, whether she’s leading a hands-on cooking session in her kitchen or guiding us through day trips to Barbate, Cádiz, and the Sherry Triangle.
Choosing the full week was absolutely the right decision. Each day brought something new, and there wasn’t a single moment I would have wanted to miss. The experience strikes a perfect balance between structured learning and relaxed enjoyment, with plenty of opportunities to connect with the region in an authentic way.
The food was outstanding—both in flavor and variety—and I came away with dishes I feel confident recreating at home. And the sherries and wines? Generous, thoughtfully selected, and an education in themselves. Every glass felt like an extension of the culinary journey.
If you’re looking for more than just a cooking class—something immersive, memorable, and deeply rooted in place—Annie B delivers.

I spent a few days with my mum at Annie B’s kitchen, cooking, eating, wine tour etc. A perfect mother and daughter reconnection spent in a beautiful place with exceptional hospitality. Annie is so knowledgeable and passionate about food, we had so much food and fun I’d love to go back soon!

The Almadraba was an outstanding experience! Annie's connections to the community got us super close to the ships practicing this ancient tuna harvesting technique -- updated to be more humane and provide much better quality. We learned a lot from her and ship captain Ignacio. After, we feasted multiple times at fine restaurants -- on the prized tuna rojo -- drank lots of Jerez/Sherry, and took part in the Ruta del Atún in Zahara. We shopped at the Barbate market then cooked in her kitchen, and were treated to a pleasant flamenco on her roof terrace. Annie's understanding of the culture is deep and her organizational skills are top-notch, frequently having to adjust in-flight due to the tides, restaurant availability, etc. A great experience, it exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to join her on a subsequent tour.

annie b's spanish kitchen (with a wee dram of scottish thrown in) is the perfect place to get to know the food and wine of andalusía and make the acquaintance of a passionate educator and ambassador for the south of spain. spend a few days with her, cooking and feasting on the local tuna and you'll never wield a tin opener again.

My wife’s “0” birthday celebration a couple years ago with dear friends was a spectacular success thanks to Annie B ! Annie & her amazing colleagues curated the perfect combination of lovely food and local sights ! We’ll be visiting again ! THANKS !

It was a un pleasure to share time with Annie, the kitchen and the view is incredible. Everyone who want to discover and do an another type of cooking, need to try it !!

What a fun day! Annie is a delightful lady that taught us much about the market and cooking seafood in a short amount at time. With hands on instruction and history of our wines and foods it was an all round worth every minute and dime experience that I will repeat again! Thank you Annie B and Pepi!
