El taller fue uno de los mejores que hemos tomado en familia. No solo aprendimos a hacer pinchos, sino que experimentamos con cocina molecular, sopletes, gas carbónico, espumas, etc. Una actividad muy completa. Además, aprendimos la historia de los pinchos más emblemáticos, y tuvimos oportunidad de probar las especialidades de Bilbao incluyendo carne, bacalao, postres y chacolí. Muchas gracias !!
