About This Class

If you want to get information about Spain and to learn how to prepare some of the most iconic tapas then this is the ideal course for you. Because when you hear the word Spain what comes into your mind? Fantastic scenery, beaches, Sun some of the most iconic cities like Madrid, Barcelona and Seville and.....Food obviously. Obviously, Spain is much much more than those elements I mentioned previously and that's why we will have not only 17 recipe videos but also 17 introductory videos to each one of the 17 Spanish regions that all together create Spain as we know it.   My approach is first to talk first about the region where the recipe is coming from. So first you are going to get some general information and then there is going to be a demonstration of the recipe. For example, that means that we choose fried tapas in the region of Andalucia, I want you to know that Andalucia is a massive olive producer so fried style tapas to make sense.  All recipes are simple and there are prepared with the most basic ingredients and the most basic kitchen tools. I do not want to show off my cooking skills but what I want is to share some local delicacies with people who want to expand their culinary horizons.

This is what making the luthier second only to Catalonia. Asked for tourist arrivals with almost 13 million. But to be precise, even if the majority of the people choose the C side of the region.

All those sites that I mentioned, there are unesco recognized and unesco protected as World Heritage after this molecule reduction, Let's start with our recipe. I choose fried egg plants with honey. That is a recipe that it represents some the luthier for me. As it is, the only voice. Superpower of Europe is super famous for their recipes.

Asturias: Uh, like Madrid, I'm not going to be very objective about a studious because it is the place where I live at the moment, as studious belong to the good in Spain, that is also called Atlantic Spain.

Sometimes it's called the Land of the cheese because it has more than 40 diseases that they are protected with auditing, o, protection by the European Union. And sometimes it's called the Land of seed, which in Spanish is cider. And this unnatural side there that is very shower and fruity. I stood it as is located in the North Spain. And it is situated between the mountains of Picasa Europa. And they can tab and see a visitor, can visit seaside cities like acorn and Abby less. And also can visit the capital of a leader that is in the interior. But it's also very close to the sea. They breed so they gave of Collado hunger is a must visit in the area. But as a personal recommendation, if you are in the area, do not hesitate to visit as many beaches as possible because it is impossible to get disappointed with any of them. So enough said about the studios, even if I want it to say much, much more. Now, let's see how we are going to prepare cells at the capitalists that includes the most famous sees over studios, capitalists. And side. If you cannot find capitalists do not worry. You can use any blue cheese you want. And any kind of natural side is going to be delicious.
