Our retreats
Come cook with us
On our Mediterranean cooking retreats, you'll learn to cook dishes from right across the Mediterranean, visit the local producers behind them, and stay at Torre Ronsat, a beautiful Catalan farmhouse estate on the Costa Brava, Spain. Days are spent wandering the coastal Camí de Ronda, swimming in the sea, and eating outside at one long table, over many courses, a few too many bottles of wine, and more stories about food than anything else. It's less a cooking school, more a few days spent living the Mediterranean way, properly.
Our retreats are currently conducted in English.

Taste the Mediterranean: Spring Edition
Torre Ronsat Estate, Costa Brava
Our flagship retreat, come spring. Mornings start slow, with coffee on the terrace and whatever the market's given us that day. We'll cook with our hands, forage wild greens along the Camí de Ronda, and lose an afternoon to a local flower farm, lunch laid out amidst the blooms, wine poured a little too generously. Come hungry, leave unhurried.

Taste the Mediterranean: Summer Edition
Torre Ronsat Estate, Costa Brava
Our flagship retreat, come summer. Workshops move to the morning to beat the heat, teaching you the art of mise en place along the way. Afternoons are for the pool, evenings for the farmhouse table, crisp local wine, and stories that run long. We'll taste our way through a family run winery in the hills above Calonge, and head out by boat to beaches you simply can't reach on foot. Come hungry, leave unhurried. Bookings and full details released soon.

MFJ x Ben Lippett
Torre Ronsat Estate, Costa Brava
6 days at a beautiful Catalan farmhouse estate in a stunning corner of Spain cooking alongside Ben Lippett. You'll travel through the cooking of the Mediterranean: coastal, generous and ingredient-led, while building a genuine toolkit of essential skills: knife work, emulsification, hand-rolled pasta, fish butchery, charring and caramelisation, and the Maillard reaction that underpins so much of what makes food taste good. Cooking sits alongside foraging walks, market mornings, boat trips and cycling through the local countryside, each one feeding into what you'll cook that evening. Expect a relaxed, hands-on week with Ben at the stove beside you, skills you'll actually take home, not just memories of a good meal.
