In the north of Spain lives the famous wine region of La Rioja.  La Rioja is the largest and most celebrated wine region in the country, producing acres upon acres of Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes.  The northern regions of the country get quite cool in autumn and winter months, and stews are popular around the dinner table. This gorgeous chicken stew uses the region's Rioja wine as a base. It's hearty enough for winter, but light enough to enjoy any time of the year.  The fragrant smells of tomatoes, bacon and peppers simmering away on your stove while you complete your meal with a country-style potato salad and Bandarillas - the traditional pickled skewer starter.

Take a virtual trip to Rioja with our chefs, coming into your kitchen live from Spain, in this beautiful class where you'll learn classic dishes to grace your own family's dinner table.  After many stories and laughs we're sure you'll make a new friend.
