What to eat and drink in Seville
Classes here usually build the menu around local dishes. Ones to look for:
- Tapas
- Small plates shared over drinks, often ordered a few at a time as you go.
- Salmorejo
- A thick, cold tomato and bread soup topped with ham and egg.
- Jamón
- Cured ham sliced thin by hand; the best is ibérico from acorn-fed pigs.
- Espinacas con garbanzos
- A Seville tapa of spinach and chickpeas with cumin, garlic and fried bread.
How to pick a good cooking class
- Check whether you cook every dish yourself or watch a demonstration. Hands-on classes usually cap groups at 10 to 12.
- Morning classes often start with a market walk to buy ingredients; afternoon ones go straight to the kitchen.
- Tell the host about allergies or a vegetarian diet when you book, not on the day.
- Look for a class that sends the recipes home with you, so you can cook them again.
