Food/Wine Buen Provecho! Tapas and Wines of Spain
Discover the delight and variety of Spain’s tapas culture as you also learn about the country’s fine wines with chef and luxury travel expert Danny Adler. Tapas, small dishes that are as much a social tradition as they are cuisine, bring people—and interesting ingredients—together! Paired with Spain’s fine wines (did you know that Spain is the second-largest wine producer in the world?), the food and the conversation come alive. First, Danny provides an introduction to Spain’s tapas culture, which is designed to nurture community. Leading the class from his home in Barcelona, Danny illustrates how you can make a classic Spanish aperitivo using vermut with olives, chips and vinegar-cured anchovies. Next, Danny provides a demonstration on how to cook a tortilla Española that you can try at home. What makes something a tapas and not an appetizer? Danny explains. Next, pair your meal with a Spanish wine that is classified by the D.O. system, or denominación de origin. Danny explains the classifications and leads tastings of a Rioja and a Ribera del Duero. (You can join at home using bottles that are easy to find locally.) Come away with a new appreciation for Spanish cuisine, and perhaps the bug to travel! Please note: Participants are responsible for providing their own ingredients, wine and cooking supplies. A list will be provided upon registration.
