Cooking class experience — learning Croquetas properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Croquetas correctly. The instructor explained why Manchego cheese is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The deeply aromatic result when you make it yourself is different.

the tapas tradition developed as small accompaniments to drinks. We learned how a pintxos bar in San Sebastián shapes the way this dish is eaten. The class ended with the meal and a glass of Cava sparkling wine. I've made it three times since and each time it improves. Highly recommend the cooking class approach.
