Did you know that the Basque Museum’s library holds over 3,000 items? From books, magazines, newsletters, and posters – we have everything you need to start your research! One of the library’s hidden treasures is our vertical file. This consists of newspaper clippings, magazine articles, pamphlets, invitations, booklets, brochures, and more that are grouped by subject. From arborglyphs to whaling and heraldry to sheepherding dogs, all our 100+ subjects are related to either Basque Studies or the City of Boise. These files are a great starting point and can often provide you with names and dates that refine your research or provide context and answers to your biggest questions!

If you are interested in doing research at the Museum, visit our website and fill out a Research Request under the “Research” tab!

Join us for a night of w**e, food, and friends as Chef Asier leads a talo cooking class. We serve talo and chorizo for our Eguberriko Azoka and the crowds love it! Now is the time to learn to make it for your guests at home!

Class will begin at 6pm where Chef Asier will demonstrate how to prepare talo and then we will cook them to eat with delicious, fresh, and authentic Basque Chorizo.

What is Talo?

Talo is a traditional Basque Corn Flatbread made from corn flour, water, and salt and cooked on a hot metal plank. Talo is more than food- it is a symbol of Basque identity and rural tradition. It is enjoyed at festivals, family gatherings, or on the street. It is a simple and cherished part of Basque cuisine.

About Chef Asier Garcia:

Asier was born and raised in the Basque Country where he studied culinary arts and trained with Michelin awarded Martin Berastegui. His curiosity led him to every corner of the Basque Country, from the northern city of Biarritz to the mountain town of Morga, the coastal port of Lekeitio, and the capital Bilbao. Asier moved to America and worked at some of the best restaurants in Boise. Now you can find Chef Asier working his magic in the kitchen of Leku Ona!

Class Registration Fee: $35 non-members and $30 for members.
