Your next favorite thing to do in Philadelphia just happens to involve olive oil, garlic, and a serious amount of good bread! In this hands-on Spanish tapas cooking class, Chef Emily guides you through the bold, sun-soaked flavors of Barcelona -- no passport, no prior experience, and no pressure required. Whether you’re planning a date night, looking for something genuinely fun to do with friends, or just ready to finally learn how to make a tapas recipe worth bragging about, this is your kind of evening.
You’ll learn how to make three classic Spanish tapas from scratch: Setas al Ajillo (garlicky sautéed mushrooms), Pimientos del Piquillo Rellenos de Atún (sweet piquillo peppers stuffed with savory tuna), and a Pan con Tomate recipe so simple and so good it’ll become a weekly staple. Chef Emily walks you through every step, explains the why behind the what, and makes sure you actually leave knowing how to recreate these dishes at home. All equipment and ingredients are provided, so you just show up ready to cook -- or happily assist while someone else does the chopping.
Once your tapas are ready, you’ll sit down with your fellow food lovers and dig in together -- because that’s exactly how the Spanish do it. This cooking class is casual, welcoming, and genuinely beginner-friendly, designed for curious home cooks and first-timers alike. Come hungry, leave with skills, and maybe a new go-to recipe or three. ¡Buen provecho!
