What to expect
You'll arrive at a modern shared kitchen in central Madrid and receive a brief welcome before diving into prep and cooking. Over the next few hours, you'll work through each course in sequence—starting with braise work on chorizo, moving to sautéing and searing techniques, then plating and tasting as you go. Your instructor guides technique at each step while Spanish wine flows throughout. You'll taste everything you've made in a celebratory atmosphere, finish with Crema Catalana mousse, and leave with written recipes to try again at home.
