Get hands-on with Spanish Tapas!
Join Chef Troy for a fun, interactive cooking class where you’ll learn to prepare three flavorful tapas inspired by Spain’s vibrant culinary traditions. From crispy patatas bravas tossed in a bold, spicy sauce to delicate piquillo peppers stuffed with savory fillings, and even a modern twist with pan-seared salmon finished in a bourbon glaze, you’ll discover how small plates can deliver big flavors.
Chef Troy will guide you step-by-step through each recipe, making the techniques approachable for beginners while still engaging for seasoned home cooks. Along the way, you’ll pick up tips to recreate these dishes at home for your own tapas night.
Whether you’re planning a unique date night, an outing with friends, or just want to sharpen your cooking skills, this class blends hands-on learning with lively conversation and plenty of tasting. All tools and ingredients are provided!
