If you’re spending a few days in Northern Spain and you enjoy food, you probably know that San Sebastian is a food-lover’s paradise. In fact, food is an essential part of Basque culture, and their culinary tradition is a fundamental source of inspiration for today’s high-standing Spanish cuisine. Spend a few hours with us and we’ll show you a few of their secrets…
Get a firsthand look at the famous cuisine of the Basque Country in a private hands-on cooking class at a Sociedad Gastronómica (Gastronomic Society), located in the old center of this elegant city. These “societies” are ancient institutions in the area, a type of cooking club where Basques have shared their good humor, songs, and gastronomic wisdom for centuries. You too can share in this tradition, take pleasure in learning, and add to your culinary expertise - all mixed in with a little fun!
Your teacher, a professional cook, will demonstrate how to prepare a complete menu, from appetizers right through to a delicious dessert. Join in the cooking while you chat with your teacher, ask questions, and maybe nibble on this or that…Then sit down with some fine Spanish wine and enjoy the dishes you prepared as lunch.
This original experience will add a very special culinary touch to your holiday, and stay with your forever!
