Tapas activity

Take a culinary journey around Spain as each team cooks up tapas from various regions and culinary traditions. This is a great way to learn about Spanish Food Culture with the best flavors that each region has to offer.

Create a Spanish Tapas Feast Together

In this activity, groups will split up into teams and prepare a variety of seasonal Spanish Tapas for a lunch or dinner that everyone will enjoy. All groups will prepare dishes for them to share with their colleagues. Each group will have the assistance of a chef to help with any questions about how to prepare a particular ingredient or recipe. Using your group’s creativity and teamwork, a mouth-watering Spanish Tapas menu will be created for your lunch or dinner.
