London event to celebrate cuisine of Mallorca

From 22-28th October, London’s top Spanish restaurants and Maltby Street Food Market will be celebrating the produce and typical recipes of Mallorca.

Located just over 450miles from Spain, this Balearic Island is known for its olives and almonds, with over 4 million trees dotted throughout this 1,400 square mile island.

Look out for authentic Mallorcan dishes at some of London’s top Spanish restaurants, including Pizarro, Tramontana, Barrafina, Cambio de Tercio, Iberica London and Barcelona Tapas.

A select group of food producers, will be showcasing their wares at Maltby Street. They will form a dedicated market running from Friday 26 to Saturday 27th. Products on offer include small family estate wines, artisan olive oil, preserves, specialist seasonings and almond based store cupboard ingredients.

In addition to the special dishes and market, there will be a ticketed wine tasting on Thursday 25th October.

The week will kick off with a twitter cook-a-long with Rachel McCormack, where followers to @R_McCormack/ #LondonMallorcawk, will be able to learn to cook Tumbet (a Mallorcan version of Ratatouille) using 140 character instructions.

For those less technically minded, there will also be a conventional cooking class on Tuesday 23rd October. Click here to find out more about the cooking class.
