Spanish Tapas for the Holidays

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies at the bottom of this webpage.

Whew! What a year. If you're looking to ring in the new year with a festive menu, consider changing up the traditional roast (if anything, this year has been everything but typical) and mark the occasion with Spanish tapas. Camila will teach you a seasonal, colorful, eye-pleasing menu that is mostly plant-based, too!

Pop open a bottle of cava, turn on those dance tunes, and bid adiós to 2020!
