Lively Conversation in a Local Seville Home

---

Annette is a warm host with a deep appreciation for different cultures. She attributes her love of cooking to her mom and love of eating to her dad. A native Canadian, Annette is multilingual, has lived in several continents and has had professional stints in commercial banking and in the science field before discovering her true passion on a trip to Seville…Flamenco. From the moment Annette experienced flamenco, a form of song and dance special to the Andalusia region of Spain, she was hooked. Her newfound love fueled a series of trips to Seville to study flamenco and she ended up opening her own flamenco dance studio in Canada before finally moving to Seville permanently. Now a resident of Seville, Annette teaches English and lives with her boyfriend Jose. Jose hails from Soria, a gem on the eastern end of Castille and León region of Spain. Together the pair enjoys creating dishes inspired by Jose’s hometown in central Spain.
