Cooking Classes in Spain
Sangria, paella, chorizo, gazpacho, Tortilla Espanola...these dishes are what first come to mind when we think of Spanish food. But our cooking class vacations go beyond the norm and introduce you to more modern Spanish cuisine, reflecting the contributions of both her conquerors and those she herself conquered. The Romans introduced olives and grapes, leading the Spanish to cook with olive oil as much as their Italian cousins and to produce their own wines. The Moors arrived from North Africa and, in addition to saffron and rice, key ingredients in one of Spain’s national dishes, paella, brought with them citrus and the use of sweeter spices, such as cinnamon, in savory meat dishes. Exploration of the New World ultimately led Spain to incorporate foreign ingredients such as peppers, beans, potatoes, and cocoa into traditional Spanish dishes. Your culinary tour including cooking classes in Spain will lead you through a gastronomic journey of international cultural influence.
