About this Event

Guests will learn how to make a classic Spanish paella, as well as traditional tapas, all from scratch. During the class, we will walk through simple cooking techniques from knife skills to cleaning and preparing seafood. At the end of the class, the group will be able to sit down and enjoy all the delicious dishes prepared during the class. The seafood and vegetables for the paella are always changing due to seasonality.
