Itinerary

1

Meet your guide near one of Madrid’s most historic markets, where neighborhood residents have been shopping for over a century. Head inside to discover a gastronomic haven of delicious, high-quality Spanish products that form the building blocks of local cuisine. Chat with the vendors and pick up fresh ingredients to take back to the kitchen. Now that you have a solid understanding of Spanish food basics, it’s time to get hands-on. You’ll head behind the scenes of one of the most exciting restaurants in Madrid’s Huertas neighborhood into a beautiful cooking space reserved just for your small group. Enjoy a typical aperitif of sweet vermouth with products from the local market. Over the next few hours, you'll work in the kitchen with your group to prepare typical Spanish tapas, homemade croquetas and patatas bravas with two homemade sauces. Sit down to enjoy your homemade lunch and seasonal fruit from the market for dessert with your choice of beer or wine. You'll feel bonded to this new group of friends after cooking this special meal together. Leaving class, you'll have a deeper knowledge of Spanish cuisine and several easy, delicious recipes to recreate in your own kitchen.
