Tapas Class Wed. Jan. 8

Tapas are "small bites" and in this class we'll cook up a variety of common Spanish tapas dishes.  Serving tapas for a party is a lot of fun, but many tapas double as delicious dinners.  Take the Tortilla de Patatas, a Spanish-style omelette with potatoes and onions, similar to a frittata.  Cut it into cubes, stick it with a toothpick and you've got a delicious appetizer.  Or slice into wedges, serve with a green salad, and you've got an easy weeknight dinner.  Other dishes we'll be making include Spicy Garlic Shrimp and Albondigas (Spanish meatballs in tomato sauce).  Plus we will sample some of my other favorite Spanish nibbles - Manchego cheese, jamon serrano and Marcona almonds.  This class is sure to be a Spanish adventure....without the jetlag!

Hello! I’m Katie Walter, the owner of Two Aprons Cookery, and I enjoy food – cooking it, eating it, traveling for it, reading about it and writing about it. I cook simply, from scratch and seasonally.  I’m passionate about composting and running a less-waste, sustainable kitchen. I’ve been teaching cooking classes – first in London, then in Massachusetts and and now in Maine – for over 10 years. In my past lives I’ve co-authored a cookbook titled “Some Like it Hot” (Chronicle Books, 2005) and put in time at America’s Test Kitchen in Boston.
