    What To Expect

    Embark on a journey through the flavors of the Basque country. Our immersive workshop takes you beyond the kitchen as we explore the local market, a vital source of our inspiration. Witness firsthand the vibrant tapestry of ingredients that define Basque cuisine, and gain a deep appreciation for the significance of locally sourced produce. Dive into the world of selecting pristine fish and engaging with the artisans who give life to Basque gastronomy – the farmers, fishmongers, and butchers.

    At our school, you are the culinary artist, crafting iconic Basque dishes under the guidance of our expert chefs.

    Our experience goes beyond the kitchen. Take home not just memories, but an apron as a cherished memento and the recipes to continue your culinary journey at home. Every step is hands-on, tailored for both novice and experienced cooks, ensuring everyone's participation.

    And the experience reaches its pinnacle with thoughtful pairings. As you indulge in each dish, a carefully curated glass of a pairing beverage elevates the flavors to new heights.

    Join us to uncover the heart of Basque cuisine, from market to plate, and savor every moment of this immersive culinary adventure.
