Description

Get ready for a Spanish-style feast packed with sizzling pans, bold flavors and plenty of hands-on cooking. In this four-course class, you’ll start with patatas bravas, preparing crisp potatoes with a smoky, spicy bravas sauce. Next, you’ll make gambas al ajillo, cooking shrimp with garlic, olive oil and chili for that classic sizzling tapas flavor. You’ll also prepare a Spanish tortilla with potatoes and eggs, learning practical techniques for slicing, seasoning and cooking this iconic dish until tender and golden.

To finish, you’ll make a creamy Basque cheesecake, creating its signature caramelized top and rich center. You’ll work through each dish step by step, picking up approachable techniques you can easily recreate at home while enjoying a relaxed, social cooking atmosphere. Whether you’re new to Spanish cuisine or already know your way around a tapas menu, you’ll have plenty to cook, taste and enjoy, and you might just leave wondering why every dinner can’t involve multiple small plates.
