Have you been to Bilbao or San Sebastian? If you have, you’ll know that every bar offers an incredible range of stunning pintos and the tapas is just delicious! This class explores some of our favourites that can be easily created at home to wow your friends and family.

Teachers: Kirstie Urquhart is a superb chef who worked for many years with us at Papadeli before setting up as a personal chef.  She is wonderfully inventive and knowledgeable and creates absolutely gorgeous food.

Simon MacDonnell, aka Papa, is co-founder of Papadeli and is still mad about good food over 20 years later! He know SO much about food, as you can imagine and loves sharing.

All chefs are brilliantly knowledgeable and super friendly, so you’ll have a lovely time watching and learning before getting stuck in with some fabulous ingredients. Classes are fun and informative.

Chefs rotate depending on how busy they are with catering, so expect to see any one (or a combination) of the above!

“Kirstie and Marcin were so knowledgeable and food was divine. The rest of the team were super friendly, efficient and helpful.  I have just signed up to your mailing list as I am super keen to see what you may have coming up”

The Cookery School

Our cookery school, on the top floor above our deli, is a professional kitchen where our chefs create all the delights in the deli and superb food for catering events during the day – from canapés, buffets,  takeaway dishes, frozen meals and amazing cakes. In the evening, it’s a beautiful and perfect space for learning how to make all these dishes and taste some new flavours. If you ask nicely, Simon might give you a private tour of the deli…
