SUMMARY:COME WINE WITH ME - EXPLORING SPAIN & PORTUGAL
DESCRIPTION:COME WINE WITH ME – EXPLORING SPAIN & PORTUGAL \nThe wines of Spain and Portugal have increasingly grabbed the attention of the wine world in recent years. \nThere is certainly a lot more to Portugal than Port! From the home of port in the Douro Valley\, where there are some of the best value reds Europe has to offer\, to the intriguing white wines of the cool north-west\, and of course\, we mustn’t forget Ribetajo\, Alentejo and the Algarve where wines are often interesting and complex. \nFor many years the red wine of Rioja has ruled the roost of the Spanish wine scene\, but the wines of Ribera del Duero are certainly nipping at its neighbour’s heals with some rich and meaty wines – and let’s not forget the Spanish white wines\, such as fragrant Alberiño from Galicia with its peachy soft juiciness. \nLet the showdown commence! \nTIMES: 6-8pm \nCOST: £38.50 including fizz on arrival and 6 samples of wine plus some snacks. Places are only confirmed once paid in full and are non-refundable or transferable. \n\n\n\nDINNER: You may like to continue your evening and enjoy dinner in our restaurant following the event. You can book a table here. \nDIETARY REQUIREMENTS: Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements or conditions we should know about. \nBLACKFRIARS EVENTS & COURSES SELL OUT QUICKLY SO BOOK NOW! \n\nPlease note; if it shows no online availability\, the event is sold out.

SUMMARY:EVENING COOKERY CLUB - PORTUGUESE FISH & SEAFOOD
DESCRIPTION:Say Portugal and you might think about golf\, surfing\, the Algarve and Ronaldo! But Europe’s most westerly point and oldest nation (dating back to 1139) was a super-power of maritime explorers so no surprise its cuisine relies heavily on seafood such as grilled octopus\, seafood rice and grilled sardines as well as the ubiquitous bacalhau salt cod of which they still get through 25\,000 tonnes annually! Nando’s was inspired by Portuguese cuisine – especially its piri-piri chicken – but our favourite isn’t this\, or their deliciously-sticky-sweet Port with queso\, but will always be the delightful Pastel de nata custard tarts! Book now to try some of these inspired culinary creations from the lesser-known part of the Iberian Peninsular.\nEvent suitable for gluten free. Not suitable for vegetarian or vegan. \nFor home cooks who want to explore something new. Our cookery classes are relaxed\, informative and fun and are specially designed by our teaching chefs to give you skills and confidence in the kitchen. \nSo enjoy an alternative night out preparing a delicious\, seasonal selection of dishes which you can eat during strategic breaks or simply take home to enjoy in front of the T.V.! All of our weeknight cookery club sessions are suitable for beginner cooks and are led by our friendly chef tutors. \nWHERE: Blackfriars Cookery School \nTIMES: 6-9pm \nCOST: £90 per person per evening which includes all your food produce\, and meal to take home and simple refreshments during the class.
