Traditional Basque Supper

The Basque Country has held a special place in CJ’s heart ever since she first traveled to northern Spain. Despite being one of Europe's oldest and most distinct cultures, the Basques have fiercely preserved their language, traditions, and identity while building one of the world's most celebrated culinary scenes. It's a place where recipes are passed down through generations, yet innovation is embraced with equal enthusiasm—a balance that makes Basque cuisine unlike any other. 

Over the years, CJ has had the privilege of learning from her Basque in-laws and spending time cooking and eating her way through northern Spain. In this class, she’ll share some of her favorite recipes, stories, and traditions as we prepare a seasonal Basque meal together. Along the way, we'll explore the techniques and ingredients that define the region—from humble home cooking to the flavors that have made Basque cuisine famous around the world.
