A Genuine and Memorable Cooking Experience with Carlos

We had a very enjoyable day with Carlos and would happily recommend this experience. It was both relaxing and informative, and we really enjoyed learning how to make paella while also trying other delicious local dishes. Carlos has a warm, genuine, and easygoing personality that makes everyone feel welcome and included. He shared his knowledge in a natural and engaging way, creating a friendly atmosphere throughout the day. The food was excellent, and the experience gave us both new skills and great memories. If you're looking for an authentic and personal way to experience Spanish food and culture, this is a great choice. Thank you, Carlos, for a wonderful day and a memorable experience! 🥘🇪🇸😊

Excellent experience

Carlos was a great instructor and story teller. His teaching methods included everyone in the class leaving no one behind with everyone feeling like they were all getting the job done. Sitting down to a family style dinner with world traveling guests allowed for sharing of experiences and adventures with Carlos adding local venues and establishments to visit.

A fun experience with...

A fun experience with Javier as our guide through the market and Carlos as our chef/instructor. The food was excellent. Together we made sangria, gazpacho, and paella. But we were also treated to an olive oil tasting. We ended with freshly made churros. A perfect. way to spend your time in Malaga. Highly recommend!

Overall great experience

Javi gave us a great tour of a fabulous market before cooking. We loved it so much, we went back to the market after the class. Alba is a pro - she helped us paella that was best we had in Spain, and we also made sangria and gazpacho, and enjoyed churros as well. We especially enjoyed meeting and sharing the experience with people from all over the world.

Learn the Secrets of Perfect Paella.

We wanted to learn to make paella since we had eaten it in Spain and wanted to try to make it at home. The Kulinarea kitchen was within walking distance of our downtown hotel. We met there, not at the Atarazanas Market, which is what is listed in the Tripadvisor "What to Expect " section. We still got to tour the market, but did not have to buy any ingredients since they were already provided by the class. After that we learned how to taste olive oil, and were given the opportunity to purchase some. There, we learned how to make gazpacho, sangria, and finally the paella. We cut our own vegetables and did the cooking from start to finish. Most of the participants made seafood paella, but there was an option to make vegetable paella for vegetarians and in case of allergies. With the expert instruction by Carmen, ours turned out perfectly. We all sat together and had our paella with the gazpacho and sangria, followed by churros for dessert. They also had some ready-made salmorreta so that making it at home would be easier. Now that we are back home, we are excited to try making it ourselves. It was a fun experience and a delicious meal, all in one!
