Transport yourself to the vibrant streets of Barcelona and discover the delicious world of Spanish tapas! In this fun, hands-on cooking class, Chef Emily will introduce you to the rich traditions of Spanish tapas culture while teaching you how to prepare three authentic, restaurant-worthy dishes. You'll explore the fresh ingredients, bold flavours, and simple techniques that make Spanish cuisine so special before being guided step-by-step through creating three classic tapas: Setas al Ajillo (garlicky sautéed mushrooms), Pimientos del Piquillo Rellenos de Atún (sweet piquillo peppers stuffed with a savoury tuna filling), and Pan con Tomate (crispy toasted bread topped with fresh tomato, garlic, and olive oil).
Along the way, you'll pick up essential cooking skills, discover the secrets behind these beloved Spanish dishes, and gain the confidence to recreate them at home.

Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.
