Description

Taking a few moments of quality time to connect over tapas is a treasured Spanish tradition, and one we’re always happy to take part in! During class, you’ll learn how to make classic tapas dishes that celebrate iconic ingredients of Spain, like ham, seafood, and Spanish olive oil as you master techniques like the art of flipping the perfect Spanish tortilla and frying crispy ham croquettes.

Pick up tips to host your own tapas night and bring in the flavors of Barcelona’s bustling tapas bars for easy entertaining at home. At the end of class you’ll get to sit back and enjoy the tapas you’ve made in class.

You will be working in a small group. For ages 18 and up. 21 or older? You’ll enjoy sangría paired with your meal.
