Cooking Class: Sweet and Savory Spanish Tapas
Join Chef Magda for a hands-on cooking class focused on Spanish tapas.
You’ll start by searing shrimp and seasoning them with lemon zest, garlic and smoked paprika to make gambas al fuego. Then, grill a Castilian-style steak and prepare romesco sauce from roasted red peppers, almonds and sherry vinegar to serve alongside it. For dessert, you’ll make a vanilla crema with cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar and vanilla. Throughout the class, you’ll cook each component yourself and learn practical techniques you can repeat at home. Book your spot now!
