Guests say the experience begins with a lively market walk where fresh, local ingredients are sampled and explained, followed by a hands‑on cooking session where every participant gets to help prepare the dishes. The instructor is praised for being entertaining and patient, sharing why foods are cooked in particular ways and offering cultural insights. The group highlights the authentic flavors and the memorable way it showcases the city’s culinary scene.
What makes Basque cuisine so special is the ingredients we use. Our markets are full of fresh, local products and we love visiting them to get inspired. You will begin this class in the market with us, so you can see the whole process from start to finish. Once back in the kitchen you will prepare dishes with seasonal, quality products and then enjoy the fruits of your labours. Here you will experience the true meaning of mimo.
Recipes will change depending on the season, but here is a sample menu:
