Cooking Together in Spain

Plan, cook and taste a simple Spanish meal at home with your flatmate.

Spaniards cook a lot at home, and the classic weeknight dishes are tortilla de patatas, lentejas or a quick pasta. Lunch is the big meal around 14:00, dinner is lighter and late. These cards follow two flatmates deciding what to make, shopping list in hand, and cooking a tortilla together.
