Every month, the taste master Karīna Leinberga-Lemberga at the LVM tourism and recreation center “Spāre” invites everyone to enjoy the harmony of nature and taste in the workshop “The Taste of Presence”. It is possible to specifically tailor Karīna’s workshops for friend gatherings, family celebrations, or corporate events, combining them with relaxation in nature in the comfortable “Spāre” cottages.
When planning a taste workshop with friends, family or colleagues, one can have a shared pancake breakfast, preparation of festive snacks, or a thematic three-course dinner. A special thought is devoted to children’s parties, where it is fun to make large pancakes and roll up cotton candy clouds.
Before cooking at “Spāre”, Karīna welcomes her guests at Swan Lake, where tea has already been brewed on a campfire. The guests can enjoy the tea while listening to the sounds of the surrounding pine forest and breathing in the refreshing lake air. To enjoy the cooking process, one first needs to stop and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
““The Taste of Presence” is a unique project that combines almost four years of experience in hosting guests in home cafes, in my own catering van, cooking for friends’ parties, and creating content for @es.gatavoju blog. It is an opportunity for everyone to experience the cooking process, using all five senses — listening, watching, smelling, feeling, and tasting. Guests have the opportunity to cook appetizers or a 3-course meal from well-known everyday products as well as local home-grown products,” Karīna explains.
Before going to the kitchen, guests gather at the large festive table to get to know each other and experience a small tasting, allowing them to open their taste buds and make the cooking process more creative. Karīna has always found something interesting for the tasting table from the assortment of local producers, combining different flavor nuances and textures.
In her workshops, Karīna shares recipes that are easy to prepare and do not require a lot of different products. Anyone can cook deliciously and beautifully, knowing just a few tricks and surrendering to the process.
By participating in a master class, you can extend your vacation and plan an overnight stay in the comfortable cottages of “Spāre” to spend your holidays in nature without rushing. Going for walks along forest trails or around the lake, taking a boat trip, watching birds from the observation tower, or lazily spending the day in the cottage are a few of the charming activities at “Spāre”.
