Katrien Claus – Intuitive Cooking

Maresme Area

Entrepreneur and chef Katrien Claus is the head honcho and intuitive cook at Montepallars, her organisation based in the Catalan Pyrenees. She also travels throughout Spain (and beyond) to inspire others and fire their imagination in the kitchen.

Katrien offers a wide range of intuitive cooking workshops for you and your friends, either in the comfort of your own home or at a special location nearby, based around specific themes including: 

  • Quick and easy dishes: time-saving tricks, batch cooking, effective planning and recipe ideas.
  • Different international cuisines such as Middle Eastern, Asian, Latin American… you name it!
  • Zero waste: how to make the most of your ingredients, optimal storage, cooking with leftovers, etc.
  • Eating healthier: what does “healthy” really mean, for both you and the planet? How can you reduce your meat and fish consumption? How can you convert your recipes into veggie and vegan?

If you would like to focus on a specific theme just let her know!

Another service that Katrien offers in the Maresme is a home restaurant. Treat your family and friends to delicious food in the comfort of your own home without the stress of cooking! All you have to do relax and enjoy, as she will cook, serve and wash up for you! Katrien can provide small events catering and cooking for special occasions such as birthdays.

Katrien also offers private culinary coaching, in-person or online, addressing your quandaries, doubts and issues in the kitchen. For example, for those juggling work and a busy family life: how to prepare weekly menus for all tastes and preferences in advance, including batch cooking, stocking up on basic ingredients that give great flexibility and make your everyday cooking fun, quick and stress-free.

Recently, she wrote the book Intuitive Cooking. In it, she helps you to reconnect with your senses and intuition and provides tasty tips and tricks, encouraging you to experiment more and create your own recipes.

Soon, she will also be offering the performance dinner Mesmerising muses which can be organised at your home or at a specific location. 

Step into a world where taste meets poetry and art ignites your senses. Mesmerising muses will be celebrating sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste in ways you’ve never imagined. A feast for the curious, the daring, and the dreamers—be part of the story. Surrender to the magic and let your muses guide you.

 What people are saying about Katrien
Such fun, nothing like a typical cooking class! My friends and I had a great evening with Katrien, and she really opened up our culinary horizons. Fun, simple, inspiring ideas, and I’m already trying out new flavour combinations and using ingredients in different ways. Oh, and we ate really well that evening too!
Nuria Claver
My life’s incredibly busy, so there’s not much time to cook. I loved how Katrien showed how you can still make yummy (and healthy) meals quickly and efficiently and how to use a bit of advance planning and batch cooking to save so much time. Already putting her tips into action!

Katrien’s workshop got me out of my recipe rut! I now look forward to going into the kitchen again and trying out new ideas from around the globe. Highly recommended!
Kathryn Chuck
I have attended many of Katrien's workshops and also attended a retreat at Montpallars. Both experiences are simply outstanding and unforgettable. Her knowledge of food, how to combine well in simple and delicious ways is incredible. She is one of the best local chefs in Catalonia!
