Description:

Discover the secrets of traditional Basque cuisine with this fascinating cooking class taught by a local chef. Learn about customary methods and delicious recipes, and gain insight into the gastronomic societies of San Sebastian as you prepare your very own delicious lunch.

Gastronomic societies are exclusive, members-only clubs, where excellent food, drink, and cultural activities take place. You are invited to an afternoon at a gastronomic society event to learn about Basque fare and experience the fun and communal feel of San Sebastian’s social life.

Begin your immersion into the Basque Country’s culinary style with a visit to La Bretxa—one of the region’s most popular food markets—and pick up fresh ingredients to create your tasty lunch. With the help of your guide, choose the highest-quality produce that suits your taste.

Take to the kitchen with a local chef, and start your lunch preparation. Chop, mix, and fry as you explore traditional and modern recipes, including cod in pil pil sauce, squid in its own ink, fried or battered anchovies, clams in green sauce, cod or hake cheeks, and much more.

Then, it's time to complete your gastronomic experience as you savor your hard work, indulging in the rich flavors and authentic tastes of Basque cuisine that you just created.
