What an amazing experience! Danny really takes on both a cooking and history tour as you prepare an amazing meal that will change your life! Would do it again in a heartbeat 10/10!
Danni was amazing! I had no idea what real paella was really like. I learned so much and am so stuffed!!! Don’t eat breakfast!!
Chef Arantxa was an amazing tour guide and knowledgeable chef! Our trip to the market was very informative and we even went back to buy a few things after the tour. She led us in making several tapas and delicious paella while giving us the origins of these dishes. It was highly interactive and fun. Both her and Laura made sure we well taken care of during our time. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Danny was the best! Made us all feel very welcome and thought us all more about the Spanish cuisine. Yummy croquets, paella, and drinks!
Loved our cooking class with Daniel! He was engaging and shared his incredible knowledge of the Spanish culture and cooking techniques. Our family learned so much and can’t wait to go home to try the recipes we learned in class. The class was structured a little differently in that we took turns helping him cook the dishes rather than having individual cooking stations to do it ourselves. But there was a portion of hands-on prep like making our own croquettas and assembling our pinxtos. All in all, it was a very delicious and fun experience that I’d highly recommend if you are visiting Madrid!
Daniel was an amazing host , very knowledgeable and engaging and will definitely make this dinner when we return home
Lovely experience and friendly environment! Very informative about Spanish culture and delicious food!
Food is amazing! Learned so much as well! Danny is a great host
Really knowledgeable and high energy! Loved it.
Arantxa was an incredible teacher and is also very enthusiastic about cooking. This plan is one of the most interesting things I did in Madrid. Additionally, you have the opportunity to meet wonderful people from other countries. As a Colombian, I had an amazing time. My experience cooking in a group and learning about the history of Spanish cuisine and local markets is a great adventure to enjoy in this incredible city. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 💜
