Learn to cook in three minutes
Chef Maria Nicolau teaches us how to prepare the basics of Catalan cuisine in 26 short videos, full of humour and with a pace more akin to TikTok than to a conventional TV show.
Thanks to Nicolau’s tips and explanations, we can overcome our fear and laziness in the kitchen and understand why cooking is a political act worth doing every day.
You too can make croquettes!
From simple preparations such as sofrito (base sauce), omelettes and escalivada (roast vegetables), to dishes that elicit applause such as croquettes with roast meat, pisto (ratatouille) and fricandó (beef stew).
In Cuina salvatge (Wild cooking) we modernize classics – crème brûlée in the microwave in just three minutes! –, we make the most out of the entire chicken, we bake a traditional Catalan coca de recapte, we pickle mackerel and we prepare lentils for dummies, among many other succulent and affordable dishes.
Touring Catalonia with VIP guests
Maria goes beyond the kitchen and does so in excellent company: we cook escudella meat and vegetable soup with Figa Flawas, we learn to buy fish with Charlie Pee, we help Andreu Juanola learn to love vegetables (relatively speaking) and we take a masterclass in artisan cheeses with Alba Riera.
