Watch and learn (or cook along!) as Arantxa demonstrates how to make a traditional Basque tuna stew called, marmitako. And for dessert, there’s burnt Basque cheesecake, made famous by the Basque pintxo bar, La Viña. You will also receive the recipes in advance (ingredients list and recipe instructions will be included in your ticket confirmation email), giving you plenty of time to prepare for this special event.
