Immerse yourself in a 2-hour 45-minute gastronomic experience in San Sebastian, where you go from diner to cook: a hands-on cooking master class in one of the “secret kitchens” in the Old Town, led by an expert chef and with translation provided if needed.
You’ll learn key Basque cooking techniques by preparing four iconic dishes: creamy Spanish tortilla, perfectly emulsified cod al pil-pil, stuffed piquillo peppers, and the emblematic Basque cheesecake. The experience concludes with enjoying the dishes you’ve prepared, paired with a red wine from La Rioja, a Txakoli, and a traditional cider.
You'll work in a small group of up to 8 people, allowing you to perfect your cutting techniques, cooking times, and sauces, and take home recipes you can recreate, along with professional tips and advice on local products.
This culinary experience does more than teach you how to cook; it connects you with the spirit of Donostia / San Sebastian, a city surrounded by one of the highest concentrations of Michelin Stars in the world within a 25 km radius, an international benchmark that explains the local obsession with technique, flavour, and seasonality.
