UPCOMING EVENTS AT THE BASQUE MARKET
SUMMER SOUPS COOKING CLASS
Whew—it’s hot outside! Beat the heat with three refreshing chilled soups that deliver big flavor without turning on the stove or heating up the house. In this demonstration-style class, we'll explore classic Spanish cold soups that are perfect for summer entertaining, light lunches, or cooling off on a warm day. You'll learn simple techniques, flavor balancing, and presentation tips while we prepare three delicious no-cook soups.
Gazpacho Verde
A vibrant green twist on traditional gazpacho, this refreshing soup combines cucumbers, green peppers, herbs, and other fresh summer vegetables for a bright, crisp flavor and beautiful color.
Salmorejo
This rich and velvety soup from southern Spain is made with ripe tomatoes, bread, olive oil, and garlic. Thicker and creamier than traditional gazpacho, it offers a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity.
Ajo Blanco
Often called “white gazpacho,” this elegant chilled soup blends almonds, garlic, olive oil, and bread into a silky, refreshing dish. Traditionally garnished with grapes or melon, it delivers a unique combination of savory and subtly sweet flavors.
Join us for a cool culinary escape and discover why these timeless Spanish soups are summer favorites.

Tickets are $60 per person. Tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE, but they are transferable if you want to gift a friend.
PAELLA COOKING CLASS
Paella is Spain's most iconic dish — and one The Basque Market has proudly made its own.
Inspired by the Basque Country's home along the Bay of Biscay, our version is built around the sea: clams, shrimp, and mussels. But we're Basque through and through — Basque in Boise, no less — so naturally there's one ingredient we can't live without: chorizo. Paired with chicken, saffron, pimentón, and perfectly cooked rice, it all comes together in the paella our guests keep coming back for.
In this demonstration-style class, we'll walk you through the techniques behind exceptional paella — building layers of flavor, mastering the rice, and achieving that coveted crust. Along the way, we'll share the history of this emblematic Spanish dish and explain the role each ingredient plays in its distinctive character.
Plan to arrive at 5:30 PM to enjoy pintxos, sample wines, and settle in before class begins promptly at 6:00 PM.
Watch, learn, and taste as we share our favorite tips, techniques, and stories behind this beloved dish. Every class includes light pintxos, a wine tasting, and a generous serving of our chicken, chorizo, and seafood paella as the grand finale.
