Entertaining, informative, delicious.  Join us and discover the story and people behind Strawberry Tree, while head chef Giselle shows us how to cook some of her favourite childhood tapas.

Get up, close and personal with Strawberry Tree co-founders, head chef Giselle Benrimoj and Ed Pemberton.  Learn about Spanish and Moroccan cooking, its heritage, hear about Giselle's inspirations and her own personal journey born into a family of cooks -  a history that spans three continents.  Hosted and compered by the restaurant's general manager, Ed Pemberton.


Pull up a seat and join Ed & Giselle as she demonstrates how to cook several classic, mouth-watering tapas dishes.  Who knows where the conversation will take us?

About Giselle


A proud Gibraltarian, Giselle has spent much of her life living and cooking in Andalusia in southern Spain. Giselle worked and trained in kitchens from her teens and has worked as a chef ever since. Our recipes are inspired by Giselle’s family history – originally Sephardic Jews from Granada in Spain who - along with thousands of others - were pushed out of their homes in the 1400s and forced to leave the country. Her family settled in Morocco and then later Gibraltar by the 1600s. Coming from a family with a long line of chefs, you can imagine the beautiful recipes and stories that she has inherited, filled with a rich history and family spirit.
