What to expect
You'll arrive and meet your chef instructor and small group, then move straight into prep work with fresh ingredients at hand. The class walks you through each iconic Canarian dish one by one — starting with the potatoes and sauces, then moving to the meat stew and cheese, finishing with the almond cake. Between cooking steps, the chef shares context about why these dishes matter to island culture and food identity.
Once everything is cooked, you'll sit down and eat together. The whole experience is hands-on; you're not watching a demo — you're doing the work. By the end, you'll have your recipe book to take away and a clear sense of how to remake these dishes at home.
