Description

Join us for an exclusive Spanish cooking class as we meet along Valderribas Street in the heart of the Spanish capital. In the modern space on the second floor of the market, a professional chef will show us how to cook a variety of Spanish dishes in a group of 10 people maximum.

No prior cooking experience? No problem! Just bring your enthusiasm and a big appetite. Once in the big open kitchen, we'll learn different recipes, including ham croquettes, black rice (paella), ensaladilla rusa and bacalao ajoarriero. Do you want to know what their ingredients are? We'll learn how to combine them like experts!

In addition, during the workshop we'll be able to enjoy unlimited drinks such as red and white wine, beer or soft drinks. Between one speciality and another, we'll talk about the origin of the recipes, the typical dishes of Madrid, the Spanish gastronomy, and plenty of other fascinating tidbits.

Our class will last 3 to 4 hours and will end with a delightful tasting session of the dishes and tapas we've crafted.

¡Muy buena experiencia! La verdad es que Lola muy maja. Yo era la única que hablaba español, el resto eran personas de Estados Unidos y Lola muy atenta si es que no entendía algo. Además, luego, me envió amablemente las recetas en español. Del curso en sí muy bueno, se acompaña desde el principio con un vino tinto o blanco según preferencia, todos van participando en la elaboración de los platos y las explicaciones muy claras. ¡Recomiendo sin duda!

Very good experience! Lola was really nice. I was the only one who spoke Spanish, the rest were people from the United States and Lola was very attentive if I didn't understand something. In addition, she kindly sent me the recipes in Spanish. The course itself was very good, it is accompanied from the beginning with a red or white wine according to preference, everyone participates in the preparation of the dishes and the explanations are very clear. I recommend it without a doubt! Opinion translated. Show original.
