COOKING - COOKING - COOKING
The key to making great Basque dishes and pintxos is the choice and quality of ingredients. During our cooking classes in Bilbao, we will only use seasonal ingredients, depending on what’s available from local producers, the local market and our own vegetable garden.

The number one pintxo: la gilda
-
Cook fresh scallops with green sauce
-
Prepare the traditional cod with piperrada (the number one sauce used for fish)
-
Marmitako de Bonito - the number one dish in Basque Country
-
Play with ham, onions and goat cheese to assemble the most beautiful pintxos

For dessert you will learn how to prepare the famous Basque cheese cake originated in La Viña!
OPEN BAR - WINE TASTING
Whilst we cook, we will let the wine flow, enjoying some of the best Spanish cavas, albariños, txakolis and riojas as we go.
We will explain you the differences between wines and how to pair them with food depending on their levels of acidity, minerality or spiciness.
