Learn how to make the loved Spanish Tortilla and Gazpacho in a private virtual cooking class

While the history of how Tapas originated is a bit of a debate, there's one thing that no one can deny... these tasty bites are delicious. If you love eating Tapas style, this class will teach you the loved tapa found throughout Spain. 


In the Tapas Essentials cooking class, you’ll learn how to make the iconic Spanish Tortilla. Found across the country and considered an essential part of Spanish cuisine, Tortilla is what some refer to as a Spanish omelette. It’s made with simple ingredients, but a lot of technique. You’ll accompany your Tortilla with the beloved gazpacho, the cold soup widely eaten across the country, particularly during the hot summers.  Add in an elegant eggplant drizzled with honey and a sip of your Tinto Verano - and this class will have you flipping your way to enjoying Spanish tapa your home. Enjoy private coaching, laughs and stories as you make an amazing meal and a new friend with your chef, video calling you live from Spain.

The information sheets that came prior to the class were extremely helpful. They prepared me fully ahead of cooking. Chef Ben from Spain was amazing! He taught us a bit about San Sebastián and shared many cooking tips and tricks throughout. He was engaging and a really great teacher! Highly recommend

Kristen Mullins

Chef Ben was amazing. Better than I even imagined. We did the tapas class and it was so much fun. The food was fantastic and it was so nice talking with Chef Ben and learning from him about Spanish cooking and San Sebastián. He made the whole experience fun and delicious. I will make it to Spain one day to thank him in person. Can’t recommend this experience more! Thank you Chef Ben!

Paul Ferland

We highly recommend Chef Ben and his Basque cooking class!!! We made several Basque pintxos from scratch. Chef Ben was great company and a great teacher - fun, patient, and super informative about the origin of the dishes we were making and how important they are to Basque culture. The food was so delicious. We can't wait to visit him in San Sebastian some day!!

Monica Ann

I had an amazing experience with Chef Ben at my San Sebastián class! Chef was very patient with us and educated us with the food and the area of San Sebastián. Our food was PERFECT! Just excellent! I look forward to my next Chef & The Dish experience.
