The class takes place in a real working restaurant kitchen — a warm, authentic space where people from Alicante come to eat. Using fresh, quality ingredients, you’ll chop, mix, cook and taste your way through a varied menu inspired by Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine.

This is a complete hands-on cooking class, but also an introduction to the Spanish tradition of sharing food. Tapas are not simply small portions: they are different dishes enjoyed around the same table, accompanied by a drink, good conversation and good company.

On the menu: classic Spanish tortilla; creamy salmorejo from Córdoba; Delicias de Elche, dates filled with almonds and wrapped in bacon; a traditional marinera, made with creamy Spanish potato salad served on a crunchy bread ring and topped with an anchovy; a crispy toast with grilled Iberian pork and a creamy nougat sauce with a touch of brandy; pumpkin buñuelos for dessert.

After cooking, sit down with the group to enjoy everything you have prepared, accompanied by a drink of your choice — including our homemade sangría. At the very end of the meal, a solo Spanish guitarist will perform a few songs, adding a brief final touch of Mediterranean atmosphere to the experience.

Cook, learn and share an authentic tapas dinner, then take the recipes home so you can recreate your favorite dishes.

Our menu is largely vegetarian, with easy adaptations available for vegetarian guests. Please inform us in advance of any allergies or other dietary requirements.
