Latest news from the Mencey’s Cookery Classroom

By Luke Durden in gastronomic hotels

This September arrives full off news and updates from the Iberostar Grand Mencey Hotel & Resort and specially, from the Mencey Cookery Classroom. Although for many September is a complicated month, which includes the return to work, daily routine, children going back to school… it may not be the best idea to mention some of the activities and services offered by this hotel during the next month.

For those starting their holiday in September, and more specifically for those that have chosen the Canary island of Tenerife as a destination, our recommendation is that you pay close attention to new services offered by the Iberostar Grand Mencey, especially regarding the gastronomy of this gourmet restaurant in Tenerife.

Aula de cocina del Mencey

Los Menceyes restaurant, known as one of the best restaurants in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, after a magnificent reception, will continue to offer every first Sunday of the month, a brunch served on the terrace of the restaurant. Guests will enjoy  the combination of the classic buffet with live cooking, including the famous Benedict eggs and an authentic Bloody Mary.

Without a doubt, the culinary novelty is the cycle of “Women with a Star” which will bring to the island some of the most respected and well known Michelin star chefs in Spain. Each month, starting on Saturday 7th of September, all those who wish may attend an exclusive Master Class and then enjoy the tasting menus offered by these chefs in their respective restaurants.

We would like to emphasise the presence of the Mallorcan chef Macarena de Castro, head of the Michelin starred restaurant Jardin, and the only woman on the island of Mallorca that has that distinction. The Master Class will be held on the 26th of October in the Cookery Classroom of the Mencey. The cooking class starts at 11.30 and finishes at 13.00, where guests  can later enjoy the degustation menu ” Pure Mediterranean Sea.”

This cooking cycle of “Women with Star ” will end on the 7th of December by the hand of the Chef Fina Puigdevall head of the Restaurant Les Cols in Olot , which has two Michelin stars. This cycle of fine dining in Tenerife can become a reference, not only to the Canary cuisine , but for all Spain.

Do not hesitate and book your holiday in this gastronomic hotel in Tenerife.
