Bring your apron as we will send out the recipe in advance so you can participate with us! Make sure to have a lovely glass of  Spanish red or white wine as we cook together!​ With their online virtual cooking class, Carla & Dani Rotstein bring personal stories while cooking up a Mediterranean meal as if they were right in your kitchen. They will highligh the Spanish island’s not-so-secret gastronomic recipes. By the end of the class you will even know  what the phrase “Bon Profit” means in Catalan!

ABOUT OUR HOST
Dani Rotstein is a film producer, history-teller, Rikud-aholic, and community organizer living in the Balearic Islands of Spain. Originally from New Jersey, he moved to Majorca Island in 2014 where he learned of the taboo history of the Conversos or ​Chuetas​ native to the island. Since then, he has made it his life’s passion to continue exploring, uncovering, and sharing this interesting piece of little-known Jewish history. He believes that the revival of modern Jewish life in Spain can be a shining light to the rest of the world.
