At Son Moragues we like to use our oil, our jams, our olives and our home grown fruit and veg to prepare traditional recipes with a creative twist. That is why our expert chefs work hard to present you with their favourite Mediterranean dishes, adapting them to modern day tastes and techniques. During the summer of 2016 we will be showcasing some of these deliciously easy creations in a number of cool venues, in Mallorca and beyond. With each event we will incorporate new recipes to this section of our website, so remember to stay tuned and don’t miss out.
