SPANISH

The Spanish know how important it is to enjoy life, and their food culture is a world example. Eating is not a rushed affair - meals are the most important part of the day, and a traditional lunch can last as long as three or more hours (with a siesta!). The flavours of the country are as diverse as the terrain, from hearty stews in the north, to cold soups in the south and fresh fish along the coasts. Let a Spanish chef teach you how to perfect the casual nature of tapas or the tradition of a stunning Paella in our Spanish Cooking Classes.

BASQUE BURNT CHEESECAKE

Basque Burnt Cheesecake has had a rapid rise in popularity. It may be attributed to a number of things, none less important than the airy, creamy and caramelized flavour. Whether it was a purposeful spin on traditional cheesecake or happy accident, we can't be sure, but we are sure of one thing, this is a dessert you will want to master. Pair it with a Braised Beef and Rioja Stew and you'll have a meal you'll never forget.

RIOJA CHICKEN

La Rioja is the largest and most celebrated wine region in Spain. The northern regions of the country get quite cool in autumn and winter months, and stews are popular around the dinner table. This gorgeous stew uses the region's Rioja wine as a base. The smells of chicken, tomatoes, bacon and peppers will simmer away on your stove while you complete your meal with a country-style potato salad and bandarillas - the traditional pickled starter.
