At the end of april the two chef teachers Vincent and Olivia from IES MARIA IBARES in Dénia visited Norway, to share Spanish teaching practices and cooking traditions, as well as participate in Norwegian ones.
Vincent and Olivias experience started with working at Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri on the tranquil island of Selbjørn about one and a half hour outside of Bergen. There they learned about the restaurants practice, as well as they shared traditional gastronomy from Dénia, such as paella, “cocas” and Spanish omelette.
On the island they also got to experience traditional fishing, and were surprised by the size of the fishes. They were a lot bigger in Norway than in Spain!
After a week in Bekkjarvik followed a visit to Sandsli upper secondary school, where the teachers from Sandsli and Dénia shared ideas and different ways of working and evaluating students. And of course they cooked some traditional Spanish dishes here as well.
Our visitors also held a master class at Voss upper secondary school about Spanish traditional dishes, while also serving some of them.
At the end of the stay Olivia and Vincent made an amazing paella in a park in the Bergen city centre, to everyone’s great pleasure!
