This activity is truly special as all products are sourced directly from the vicinity of a village in the Castilla La Mancha region of rural Spain. Everything consumed is farm-sourced, with nothing coming from city supermarkets.

Paul, a private chef, has traveled, cooked, and dined throughout Spain.

Menus are collaboratively designed in advance, featuring dishes such as 25-day-old baby lamb or pig, bull’s tail slow-cooked for 8 hours in wine and local herbs, river fish, La Mancha eggplants, and vegetables from the chef’s garden.

The chef cooks to a Michelin star standard but chooses not to pursue a Michelin star, preferring not to work in a restaurant environment. Many star chefs on TV are often rude and disrespectful to other chefs and kitchen staff (e.g., Mr. Rhodes).

The chef exclusively cooks for guests in a private home near a 10th-century castle, connecting the dishes to the history of the African people who built the castle over a millennium ago.

Experience La Mancha Spanish farm cuisine with a touch of African Arabic influence.
