Description

Forn de sa Llotgeta – formerly Deborah's Culinary Island – is a cookery school and experiential food provider in the heart of Palma, dedicated to the flavours of Mallorca.

Discover Mallorcan Cuisine

Every course puts traditional Mallorcan cooking front and centre – not as an abstract subject, but as a lived, hands-on practice. The workshops weave together a market visit, cooking, and sharing a meal into one seamless experience. Along the way, you'll pick up not just recipes but also the culinary history and food traditions that define the island. Everything is cooked with regional, seasonal ingredients chosen together beforehand, and the session ends with everyone sitting down to eat what they've made, accompanied by local wine.

From Market to Kitchen

Each workshop kicks off with a guided tour of the Mercat de l'Olivar in Palma. You'll learn where the produce comes from, what makes Mallorcan cooking so distinctive, and what to look out for when shopping at a local market. The freshly sourced ingredients then go straight into the cooking session that follows. Beyond cookery courses, Forn de sa Llotgeta also hosts a wider range of cultural experiences – including wine tastings and craft workshops.

The Atelier

Courses take place in a characterful historic studio, widely described as a former bakehouse, whose atmosphere lends the whole experience a distinctive charm. Groups are kept small, encouraging genuine conversation and a relaxed, convivial atmosphere throughout.

Where to Find It

Forn de sa Llotgeta is located in the Centre district of Palma at Carrer de la Llotgeta 8. For bookings and full details of available experiences, visit www.deborahsculinaryisland.com.
