arroz con leche rice pudding | Classpop Shot

Enjoy a traditional Spanish meal in this engaging cooking class. Chef Derrick will guide you in crafting classic dishes using authentic culinary techniques with fresh herbs and ingredients. Begin by toasting bread and layering it with an herby mixture of tomatoes, olives, anchovies and capers.

Next, prepare a popular dish in Spain: succulent prawns simmered in olive oil and garlic. Create a traditional and hearty rice-based paella overflowing with chicken, chorizo and seafood. Then, braise chicken in a savory almond and saffron sauce. End your meal by indulging in a creamy Spanish rice pudding.

Chef Derrick was funny, informative, and makes everyone in the group feel included and welcomed. Techniques were spot on and I did not realize how hard it was to make pasta. Definitely have a new-found appreciation for hand-made pasta.

This was my very first time attending a cooking class as well as the first time using Classpop and I'm super happy to say my experience was absolutely incredible on both accounts. First of all, Classpop was great with their communication and updates as my cooking class date approached. They've also been great with their follow-up to make sure everything went smooth. On class day, my group of 4, arrived to the location which was a brewery. We enjoyed a delicious pint before heading into the cooking area room for class. Chef Derrick had it all set up including aprons, gloves and plenty of tasting spoons! His fun personality and cooking style made the class so interesting, fun and easy to learn. Not only did I learn how to make pasta & pesto but it was REALLY delicious too!! Attending this class helped me gain a sense of cooking confidence to make my own pasta and pesto!! Super fun, I highly recommend Chef Derrick and his cooking class extraordinaire!!

Chef Derrick was an excellent teacher. He explained all the steps clearly, was patent, and very funny. By the end of our class we were all eating some of the freshest pesto pasta we ever made. The other students also had a great time.
