The Paella & Tapas Menu

Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a total beginner, this hands-on experience is designed to inspire, engage, and most importantly — bring people together over a shared love of food.

Snacks & Drinks

Upon arrival participants have snacks of local cheese and cured sausages togehter with some special local crackers to enjoy with a selection of wine, beer, water and soft drinks.

Tapas

We choose the menu for our tapas activities based on seasonal ingredients and we vary the tapas prepared based on group size as well. We always can arrange a vegetarian option if needed to cater to any dietary requirements. In this activity we do one tapa and one paella per team.

Paella

Groups will make a variety of paellas based on the group size. They will be cooking Paella made with seafood, Meat and Vegetable (we never use pork in this one unless requested) and Vegetarian Paella. When we do large group activities we also can make fusion cuisine paellas with exotic ingredients.

Tarta de Santiago
