Kemptville, Nova Scotia August 25, 2008 Trout Point Lodge announces
the launch of a new private venture in Granada, Spain designed to educate participants in the inner workings and culture of
Mediterranean foodways. In cooperation with a long-establhed Spanish language & culture school, the program will commence
in January, 2009 and run for approximately 12 weeks. Trout Point's chef-proprietors Charles Leary and Vaughn Perret will be
the resident instructors, backed up by a team of local food and wine experts. The program is open to university students,
professionals, as well as the general public.
Leary,
Perret, and partner Daniel Abel opened Trout Point Lodge in 2000, and have offered culinary learning vacations every year.
The Lodge's cooking programs have been placed on various worldwide top 10 lists, including those published by ForbesTraveler,
Condé Nast, and Nota Bene Pulse.
Leary,
Perret, and Abel are the authors of The Trout Point Lodge Cookbook: Creole Cuisine from New Orleans to Nova Scotia published
by Random House in 2004. Leary and Perret have lived in Granada since 2003. Leary received a doctorate in history from Cornell
University and Mr. Perret performed graduate studies in law and anthropology. Both have worked as organic farmers, cheesemakers,
and chefs since 1990. They were among a small handful of North Americans inducted into the French Guilde des fromagers in
1994.
The program
will include Spanish language instruction each morning at Escuela Carmen de las Cuevas followed by afternoon sessions learning
about artisanal food and wine. Field trips to food-related destinations such as olive producers, cheese makers, and wineries
will also be an important aspect of the program. Gastronomy and culinary classes will be held at Casa Azahar in the historic
Albaycin district, near the Spanish language school, part of the UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site that also encompasses
the Alhambra Palace.
At the
end of the program, students will have an intimate knowledge of Mediterranean food culture. "The program is intended for those
with a passion for food," said Vaughn Perret. "It is not just a culinary program, but an experience that will expose students
to such things as food origins, the history of the restaurant, and how artisan food products are made and marketed." Leary
and Perret anticipate that culinary school graduates, food writers, tourism professionals, restaurant owners, as well as those
interested in food history will be attracted to the course. The cost, including housing with Spanish families and basic board,
is 6,990 euros per person.
