Cooking Courses

ORIGINAL COOKING

Experience Box brings you this unique opportunity to enjoy unusual cooking lessons on the Costa del Sol. You can choose between Thaï cooking, Sushi making or tapas preparation courses. The cookery courses are organized in a private property with amazing gardens and impresive views over the Estepona countryside.

The three options, to choose from, are : 

Sushi: we teach you how to make California Rolls, Maki Rolls, Nigiri Sushi, Temaki Sushi (cones) and Sashimi - and talk about many other variations with different ingredients over these basic rolls. We also cover what it is probably the most important bit of all, the rice. How to cook it, how to achieve the correct consistency and texture. The participants cut, chop, manipulate their own ingredients in individual chopping boards and then they are taught how to roll everything with their own bamboo mat to achieve a perfect result. Presentation is also very important and this is also covered as a last point.
 
Thai: Same format as above. We teach you how to prepare 3 of the following dishes to be chosen by your group : Green Thai Curry, Fish Cakes, Thai Spicy Salad, Pad Thai, Thai Spring Rolls and Tom-Ka-Gai Soup. For the Green Thai Curry we teach participants how to make the curry paste, the basic element of any curry you will find. This is very important because you can control the spiciness of the dish and it is also a great chance for you to smell, touch and manipulate the spices - it is a great experience for the senses!!! And a lot more interesting than buying the paste from a supermarket...! For all 3 dishes, participants are motivated to, again, touch, cut and chop the ingredients. 
 
Spanish Tapas : We teach you how to make tapas like : Spanish Tortilla, Paella, Callos or any other typical spanish stew like Lentil Soup, Chickpea Soup. We could even include the technique on how to do Pescado a la Sal and how to clean and serve it. This is a great dish and although the principle is very simple, the serving and the proper cleaning are not that simple !
