TAPAS TAPAS AND SPANISH WINE Cost: $79.95 Saturday 30 October 11-1:30pm Tapas and sharing small bites of food would have to be my favourite way of eating. I love the art of Spanish tapas and the enjoyment of sampling an array of tasty morsels without that feeling of eating a huge meal. This class is a must if you love entertaining without the fuss and hassle of cooking for hours in the kitchen and with a group at Learn Cook Dine, this is a great opportunity to sample as many as 10 different tapas all while sampling some wonderfully flavoured spanish wines. We finish our banquet with our own vanilla bean ice cream, churros and a splash of Spanish Pedro Ximinez dessert wine. Chef: Dominique Rizzo.
