Here he shares recipes, answers cooking questions and helps with cooking.
Today I will show you the Original Paella Recipe from Spain.
For this great dish I went hiking and went on a pilgrimage. I came to Lucus, the sacred forest of early times and from the 13th century the first Marian shrine of the Balearic Islands.
The spiritual centre of Mallorca is the sanctuary of Lluc with the Black Madonna statue.
It is a religious centre in the middle of the lush nature of the Serra de Tramuntana.
The monastery is a world cultural heritage, for me personally a magical place with an incredible, positive vibration.
The restaurant Sa Fonda is located on the left side of the monastery. It offers its day guests and pilgrims original Spanish cuisine.
In the kitchen there is chef Manuel who conjures up the most delicious traditional dishes of Mallorcan cuisine.
Now join me on a virtual, spiritual journey, which ends with a good meal. Have fun!

Santuari means sanctuary, Lluc was already known in pre-Christian times as Lucus – holy forest.
