Great class if you want to learn to cook something new
We really enjoyed our paella cooking class. It was very hands-on and we'll be investing in our own pan to make at home. The sangria was tasty. Our chef, BiBi, was very friendly and a great instructor. Highly recommend this class if you like paella.

Don’t miss this cooking experience!!!
Andres was amazing! We were so excited to make the Sangria. The paella we made was full of seafood and preparation was easy—learned some new tricks for home. At the end, the dish was delicious. And the tarta de santiago was delicious and such a wonderful easy recipe!!! You need to try this experience with Andres!!!

Thank you, Pat! We’re thrilled you didn’t miss the chance to cook with us — and that Andres helped make it such a great experience. We love that you left with new tricks for your own kitchen! If you ever recreate the paella or that tarta de Santiago at home, we’d love to hear how it turns out.
This class was so much fun. And luckily, it was very close to our hotel (Hotel Gaudi). The instructions were clear and being hands-on, made it easier to remember how to prepare the ingredients. I don't care for seafood so was able to choose chicken instead. And of course, the sangria made it even more fun! Even a cake for dessert. I definitely recommend this.

Thank you so much, Susie — we’re delighted that you had so much fun and found the location convenient! It means a lot to know the class was close to your hotel and that our instructions helped. If you try the recipes again at home, we’d love to see your photos or hear how it went. And if you return to Barcelona, we’d be thrilled to welcome you back.
Bebe and Alberto were great hosts! We had so much fun meeting new people, exploring La Boqueria, and cooking our first Paella! Our hosts were patient and fun. They had tapas ready for us while we made our own sangria. We cooked chicken and seafood Paella as well as made a delicious almond cake. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to experience Barcelona!

Bueno Catalonian Culinary Experience
Had such a great experience and wanted to share this review of the Paella cooking class my wife Denise and I experienced during our recent visit to Barcelona. It was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. We enjoyed a unique and engaging afternoon in our itinerary that was both educational and enjoyable, and we truly appreciated the creative and student centric way in which the class was delivered.A shout out to our host, Chef Nestor, for making the session so memorable. Nestor’s warmth, expertise, and passion for Spanish cuisine created an inviting atmosphere that made learning fun and interactive. Every step of the process from our stroll through the market to pick out the best ingredients to our final mixing of the flavorful caramelized dish was explained with clarity and enthusiasm, which added to the overall enjoyment.Delight to get to know our fellow attendee, Doc Liberty, which was an unexpected pleasure and added to our experience. Great add to be able to connect with others who share our love for food and culture made our experience even more memorable.We did not know what to expect going into the class however it exceeded our expectations, and hence we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable culinary adventure while venturing forth in Barcelona.

My wife and I were so fortunate to have had this cooking experience. Andreas our chef instructor was nothing short of fabulous. Each step of the way for us was masterfully instructional but above that amazingly entertaining.
