What We’ll Do

High on a dry plateau far from the sea, the city of Madrid has long been known for its distinctive cuisine. Unlike much of Spain, where culinary traditions center on rice and seafood, Madrileños have spent centuries perfecting dishes that rely on a creative approach to nose-to-tail cooking. Offal, or casquería en español, remains popular in Madrid, and in this workshop you’ll join Arantxa, a Madrid local and Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef to learn the fascinating history of this style of cooking and the basics of preparing casquería. Arantxa will then demonstrate the preparation of Callos a la Madrileña, one of Madrid’s tastiest and most famous nose-to-tail dishes. This rich and hearty winter meal made of chickpeas, tripe, chorizo, and blood sausage is adored even by offal skeptics. You’ll receive the recipe beforehand so you can cook along with Arantxa. If you prefer, you're welcome to sit back and absorb the cooking tips so you can make your own Callos a la Madrileña later. 

This experience is part of our Sunday Sabor series in partnership with Spain-based Devour Tours. Devour Tours connects people over food. Whether we're squeezing into our favorite Madrid tapas bar for a calamari sandwich, or hosting a paella workshop online with guests from all over the world, we are passionate about introducing people to the food and stories that make our cities unique. Through our interactive experiences, we aim to celebrate and preserve culinary traditions and history and support the small businesses that are the heart and soul of our communities.
