Cooking Class: Make Traditional Tapas Paired With Drinks in Tarragona
Infuse authentic flavors into your trip to Spain with a tapas cooking class in Tarragona.
Chef Carlos, an experienced and renowned expert in the local culinary scene, will teach you how to make small plates paired with local drinks.
Begin the class with Basque pinchos, a variety of small snacks and appetizers. Skewer green olives and Guindilla peppers to make Gilda and cook up a savory chistorra sausage. Next, you'll make coca de recapte, a flatbread topped with olives, onion, escalivada and Spanish sausage. A refreshing tuber and tuna salad and a Spanish omelette are among the next tapas on the list. Then, craft a classic bruschetta with a Spanish twist, topped with Jabugo ham. Craft a variety of seafood dishes, including Galician octopus. And finish on a sweet note with crema Catalana, a sweet pastry cream topped with caramelized sugar.
