Experience the traditional cuisine of the Basque Country in a way few other visitors to the city can claim. This comprehensive San Sebastian cooking class, taught by a professional chef in a historic family restaurant, will give you a crash course in the essentials of regional cooking. Get hands-on in preparing classic recipes: the Gilda pintxo, Spanish potato omelet, cod in pil pil sauce, red piquillo peppers, and the renowned burnt cheesecake. Throughout your San Sebastian cooking class, you'll learn new skills like how to perfectly flip a Spanish tortilla, gain a deeper appreciation of the city's culinary culture, and unpack the stories behind each dish as you cook. Finally, it's time to sit down to savor the dishes you've prepared with the perfect drink: Basque cider and two glasses of wine. Leave with copies of the recipes and an apron so you can enjoy these special Basque dishes back at home long after your trip is over.

    The cooking was amazing and we learned to make traditional Basque foods from Pil Pil, Basque cheesecake, Gilda pinxos, and stuffed peppers. The wine served (included) was delicious and plentiful. Recipes were given immediate! Small intimate class. The guide and instructor were knowledgeable and friendly!

  • Loved the experience

    We had such a great time learning how to cook some basque classics and spending time with the people in the class. Mila ( our guide) and Natalia (our chef instructor) were fabulous. To set expectations, students do some hands on activities but Natalia did more as she explained the history of the dishes and how to prepare and cook them. Excellent class

  • 100% recommend this experience. You will not be disappointed
