Comfort Food from the Basque Country

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

As we wait for the first signs of spring, let us be comforted with traditional dishes from the Basque region, Camila’s favorite gastronomical region of Spain. The Basques love their food and with their rainy cold winters make for some delicious warming recipes, simple yet delicious.
