Pintxos from the Basque Country are characteristic small bites with strong flavors, fresh local produce and creative presentations. Taking part in a pintxos workshop is a wonderful way for food lovers and travelers to "get their hands on" these culinary creations. Participants will have an opportunity to learn about Basque Culture and Food through hands-on participation, in addition to their learning about traditional and contemporary techniques.

Umamie Bilbao offers Best Pintxos Cooking Workshop, which have been designed for an interactive and immersive experience. Participants will work with experienced chefs to learn the skills necessary to make traditional Basque pintxos, in conjunction with learning about local Sustainable ingredients and cooking methods. The workshop focuses on practical kitchen skills such as knife skills, balancing flavours and presentation; by the end of the workshop, the participants will leave feeling confident in their ability to make their own delicious Basque style pintxos.

During the workshop, participants will create four signature pintxos that highlight both traditional and modern styles: Modernist Gilda - Cod pil pil, Smoked Beef Toasts, and Gatzatua With Honey and Dried Fruits. Each dish has been carefully crafted by the chef instructors and each participant will learn the techniques that require experimentation. The interaction between the participant's learning, cooking and tasting gives every participant, from novice to seasoned cook, a unique, fun and educational experience.

Participants can learn about healthy cooking, how to utilise all of the ingredients they use, reduce waste, and make more creative use of different flavour combinations in a mindful manner. The workshops are open to couples, families, friends or small groups of businesses, and they foster conversation and collaboration, whilst providing fun and educational experiences in the culinary world. Participants will leave with recipes and practical skills, but most importantly, confidence to reproduce these recipes.

“Participating in this workshop is about much more than just getting recipes,” said a spokesperson from Umamie Bilbao. “It is an opportunity to engage with Basque culture, explore unique flavours, gain insights into local dishes, and have the confidence to recreate these experiences in your own kitchen.”
