Taste of Spain Cooking Class
This event has passed. Check out more of our upcoming VIP Experiences!
Explore the delicioso flavors of Spain and become a master chef at this top-of-the-line cooking class! But first, this event will be kicked off with a Welcome Party where you’ll enjoy dinner and an open bar at Charley’s Steakhouse, a local hot spot for delicious dinner and drinks!
A culinary expert will teach you to prepare tapas, which are small, delicious tasting plates native to Spain. But to the Spanish, they’re more than a meal–they’re a way of life. This special event will introduce you to a new culture, new traditions, and a whole new cooking method you can bring back home and recreate again and again. Plus, University of Central Florida’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management was named the #1 college in America for research and hospitality by the 2022 ShanghaiRankings’ survey, so you can be sure you’ll receive only the highest quality instruction.
Delight in the art of tapas making and prepare to amaze your friends and family with your new culinary skills!
