A true Paella from the heart, as legend has it, is that a young man first made it “for her”, his fiance. Not many men used to cook back then! The word also means “pan” so the origin of this famous Spanish favourite is not clear. What is clear is that it started with all the left overs in the larder and anything else that was available, from cheese to snails.
In this class we will make an easy vegetarian version and a meat/seafood version to impress the visitors!

Contact us to organise a private function for your preferred date.

A variety of meat, cheese, eggs and vegetables with at least 10 tapas to eat and lots of ideas to take home and share. And what goes better with this Spanish “small plate” feast? Sangria!

The “Wise King” of Castille and Leon, Alfonso X was ill when his chef decided that a succession of small dishes, each helped along with a small glass of wine, was sure to make him feel better. His recovery was so remarkable that the old king spread the news: eat little and often, he commanded, and you will live longer. And so became the tradition of Tapas.

In a Tapas Class, learn to prepare a variety of delicious dishes each with its own colour, texture and aroma providing an assortment of flavours without eating too much of one thing. Ideal for both vegetarians and meat-eaters.

Please contact us to organise a date for your group (min 4). Special price of $50.00 per person for a group of 6 or more if you book before end December 2010.
