Additional Information

Our most sought-after service is this combination of a market tour and cooking class, spanning roughly four hours. The journey commences with a walk with our professional chefs to the globally renowned La Boqueria market in close proximity. You’ll be guided through an ‘exclusive access’ tour where you’ll interact with the established vendors, many are generation-old stall owners. Knowledge of regional produce and your involvement in ingredient selection for the later cooking class are the highlights of this tour. Post-market visit, we head back to our kitchen to start preparing a four-course meal. Our classes cater to all proficiency levels and are conducted by professional bilingual chefs. Your involvement in the making of diverse dishes under the careful supervision of our chef trainers ensures an engaging, communal, hands-on experience. Unlimited access to wines is part of the package. We are flexible in reshaping our menus to suit any dietary restrictions, including vegan options.

Go see the one and only Juan - Took a group of teens to the Amazing Juan, who taught us how to prepare traditional Spanish dishes. The kids did all the work. They had a blast, is adults had a blast. If you travel to Barcelona, this needs to be on your itinerary.

Best part of our Barcelona trip. - We spend our day cooking with the magazine Juan. He was engaging, inclusive, and most amazing to everyone including my two children (16 & 13). He made the day so fun. Our lunch was so delicious and our time in his kitchen was so memorable. Thank you.

Delicious and delightful! - Such a fun way to learn about Spanish and Catalan food culture. The market tour was insightful and Juan’s easygoing, authentic nature in the kitchen made you feel right at home. With his tips and tricks we created the most delicious dishes, from tortilla de patatas to paella! The family dinner with our new friends from around the world was an absolutely delightful way to cap off the cooking experience. Muchas gracias Juan and Barcelona Cooking!

Juan was awesome! - Juan was simply amazing. The market tour set up an incredible culinary experience for our familia (5 of us). We spent 8 days in Barcelona and were able to see many of the traditional sites. This was one of the highlights.

A memorable family experience - What an outstanding experience and great way to make family memories, learn recipes and be escorted through a complex spectacular market! We learned nuances of Spanish omelette, gazpacho, paella, Catalan crème! Everything was delicious. The paella we made together was better than the one we had at Mana 75! Juan is cheerful and funny and showed us a few tips in the kitchen we will remember forever. We highly recommend this experience!
