About this tour
A three-hour hands-on cooking class in Galicia where you'll prepare and eat a full three-course seafood lunch alongside the chef. You'll start with local wine and cheese, then cook Galician specialities — tuna pie, clams with seaweed, mussels, seafood rice — before finishing with Santiago cake. The chef shares family recipes and techniques rooted in Galician coastal tradition, and you take the recipes home.

What to expect
You'll arrive and be welcomed with local wine and cheese as an appetizer. The chef will then walk you through preparing the three-course meal: a tuna pie, clams with codium seaweed, steamed mussels, seafood rice, and Santiago cake. You'll work alongside her in the kitchen, learning the techniques and stories behind each dish — many drawn from her grandmother's repertoire. As each course is finished, you'll sit down and eat it together, tasting the results of your work with the local wine.
The class wraps up after approximately three hours. You'll leave with printed recipes so you can recreate the meals at home.
