The cooking class was truly awesome. The only down side is the market is closed on Sundays so we didn’t get to experience it. But being able to make our own paella from start to finish was so much fun. The cooking techniques, tips, and tricks were invaluable. We met a couple on our cruise that raved about the paella class they took prior to leaving. We signed up for our free day in Barcelona and don’t regret it. Alberto was our amazing instructor. He was patient, very knowledgeable and super engaged, and made some amazing Sangria. We would recommend this class to anyone coming to Barcelona.
This was a great adventure. We always try to find something to do with a local flair and this did not disappoint at all. The making of Paella was really fun. Cleaning squid, Langostino, clams, and mussels was very interesting and fun. Made a simple tasty dessert. All recipes are included and there is more food leftover than you will imagine.
Absolutely incredible! I have celiac disease and the entire crew was so careful with my allergy, Yaya made sure everything was gluten free for me and safe! Even the dessert which was a cake was gluten free!
This class was the best! We have made paella before but not like this! Gabi and Hugo were very accomodating with my food allergies and helped me to make a successful paella that I will make when I get home. Thank you so much!
Our private cooking class was amazing. Our chef Ianto was a great guy. He accommodated our personal tastes excellently and adapted what we cooked without a problem. The whole evening was very enjoyable and we learned a lot. We will definitely cook the paella and the cake at home. I would highly recommend this cooking experience to everyone
What a lovely evening with Ianto! We started at the Sant Josep Mercat Boqueria shopping for squid, mussels, clams, and langostinos (prawns). Ianto taught us how to select the freshest seafood. We went back to the lab and prepared the seafood following his careful and humorous instruction. We learned proper knife technique and how to remove the intestine without butterflying the langostinos. By the end of the evening we had a delicious meal that we had helped prepare and we had made a new friend. This experience was so much fun and educational. Ianto is a great teacher - so engaging and knowledgeable. A highly recommended experience!
The Paella Cooking class was amazing! The Chef helped us from visiting a local open air market to how to pick out the freshest seafoods for our recipe! In the kitchen he guided us step-by-step to create the tastiest Paella ever! We also made our own Sangria and enjoyed a great meal with the participants in our group! Fun for the whole family! Don’t miss this super special experience.
Thank you for such a fantastic review. We're thrilled that you enjoyed the entire experience, from visiting the local market and learning how to choose the freshest seafood to creating your own paella step by step. It sounds like the sangria and hands on cooking made the day even more memorable. We love sharing these traditions with guests of all ages, and we're so happy your experience lived up to the title of fun for foodies. We hope you'll recreate the recipe at home and share it with friends and family.
Fantastic cooking class with our chef Alberto. We learned a lot about the history of Pealla and the prep involved as well. It was a great hands-on experience. We did not visit the Market only because the market was closed for the holiday.
Andres & Gabriela were amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed this paella & sangria making experience! The historical anecdotes, comraderie with other participants & food was unforgettable! Would highly recommend!
We had such a fun time with Simon! We started by taking a short walk to the market, where we selected the fresh seafood for our paella. After we returned, Simon guided us through the process of cleaning and preparing the seafood, and then assembling and cooking the paella. While the paella was cooking, we made an delicious almond cake with orange zest. Simon was GREAT - he was informative and fun. I recommend this adventure wholeheartedly!
