Tapas, Storytelling, and Perfect Paella: The Ultimate Valencia Experience
We had a wonderful private session with Chef Jose. Whether you are a casual cook or a culinary enthusiast, this is the experience for you.
Everything about the space was amazing, but we especially loved his ability to weave a narrative that showed how paella ties the culture and history of Valencia, and Spain, all together. Chef Jose is passionate about his craft, a fantastic host, and a truly delightful human being. It is very rare for an experience to balance being professional, intimate, and educational, but he wove those threads perfectly to create a true core memory for our trip.We want to hang hang out with chef Jose more!
Thank you Jose! We are so excited to go home and share paella with your friends and family.

Best Paella in Valencia
Going to Chef Jose's home to learn how to properly prepare paella was a treat. We've done other paella cooking classes but they were like going to Kindergarten rather than taking the master class that Chef Jose offers. We had a wonderful time learning the finer points of paella. Chef was full of helpful hints that we will incorporate into our kitchen. He was passionate about his craft and that really showed. The food he prepared was amazing. We've had paella at numerous restaurants in Valencia and Barcelona but none were as flavorful as what we had with Chef Jose. The tapas were amazing as well. He gave us the recipes before we left and I know I will attempt to make several of the dishes at home.

Exceptional chef, host, and teacher
Everyone in our group of 4 adults and 1 child had a fantastic time from start to finish. Chef Jose is an excellent host and a thoughtful teacher whose class is well planned, high quality, and Fun! His deep knowledge and enthusiasm came across in the class and in the food itself. He was generous with his time and hospitality and was just as welcoming of the child in our group as the adults. If you travel to Valencia, book a class with Chef Jose!

Wonderful day in Valencia!
Chef José’s paella class was perfect for me and my 10-year-old son. We went through every step of making authentic paella, learned a lot, and had a great time. José is an amazing chef - warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about both Valencian food and sharing it with others. The finished paella was incredible and made us realize what paella is really supposed to taste like. We also loved learning about Valencia and the food traditions of the region. Highly recommended!

Paella Perfection!
We had such a great time learning to make paella with Jose. We ate tapas, drank vermouth, had wonderful conversation and watched carefully while Jose made paella in his kitchen. He clearly loves to cook and to share his knowledge with others. I had high expectations and they were exceeded. In addition to learning how to make paella, we learned some history of Spanish food, drinks and recipes. He also provided us with a booklet with recipes for everything we (he) made.
This was a great way to spend a few hours in Valencia. It was like cooking and eating at a friend's house. And I'm betting it will be the best meal you have in Valencia and probably even in Spain! Highly recommend.
Thank you Jose!

Awesome Experience with the BEST paella 🥘 🤌🏼
My wife and I had a wonderful experience where once we left we felt like José was our best friend. He gave us all kinds of history, shared family stories, and taught us all kinds of chef tricks to cook the most perfect paella. We cannot wait to get home and try his recipes he gave us. I highly recommend this intimate experience in his very clean and comfortable home which was a short walk from the city center.
