Spanish Classics Masterclass: Fideuà, Chicken & Basque Cheesecake (Bristol)

This is a Spanish class with big “main character energy” and zero tapas in sight. In our hands-on 3-hour Spanish cookery class at Cooking It, you’ll learn the techniques behind a classic Spanish menu, then sit down and enjoy what you’ve made together.

You’ll learn: How to build depth of flavour with sofrito, paprika, saffron-style seasoning and good stock. The key to perfect fideuà: toasty noodles, correct liquid ratio, timing and that satisfying finish. Spanish chicken fundamentals: browning, sauce-building, and balancing richness with brightness. Baking the iconic Basque burnt cheesecake for a caramelised top and creamy centre

What you’ll make

You’ll cook a full Spanish menu, typically including:

Fideuà (Spanish noodle “paella-style” dish, cooked in a wide pan and packed with flavour)

Andalusian pollo en pepitoria (traditional chicken in a saffron-almond style sauce)

A simple seasonal side to bring freshness and crunch (varies with ingredients)

Basque burnt cheesecake (baked during the session and served to finish)

Who it’s for

Ideal for beginners and confident home cooks. If you want classic Spanish flavours and techniques you’ll actually use at home, this one’s a winner.
