You will start your Barcelona cooking class by chopping fruit to prepare the classic Spanish drink, sangria. Then, Nicole will guide you step by step through the process of making three traditional Spanish tapas such as gazpacho (cold soup), tortilla de patatas (traditional potato omelet) and pan con tomate (toasted bread rubbed with tomato). After cooking, enjoy the meal you helped prepare along with dessert (crema Catalana) and sangria (red wine & seasonal fruit).
