Welcome to Barcelona - We brought our family to this event who had not been to Barcelona before and it was a perfect introduction to the city. We all learned a lot about the city, fresh seafood and cooking techniques for Paella. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Cooking Class! - 5 STARS!! Highly recommend this Paella Cooking Class!! Maria was amazing and explained every step of the prep and cooking process! Top notch from shopping for the ingredients at the market to walking over to the most beautiful kitchen where we all took part in making Sangria, and cooking our seafood Paella! The wine and sangria was plentiful!! I would take this class again if we’re ever back in Barcelona!

Buenísimo! - Chef Emma was absolutely amazing! The entire experience from walking around La Boqueria, cooking tapas, sangria and paella, and to enjoying a meal and dessert as a group was absolutely fabulous. We would absolutely recommend this specific class with Chef Emma to anyone looking for a fun, inclusive cooking experience! Not a lot of prior kitchen experience is needed to have a great time, the class is very well suited for all cooking ability levels.

Highly recommend this! - Super fun experience, met some new friends, enjoyed shopping in the great market off the Rambas, enjoyed great sangria and wines, the instructor handled the class with kid gloves, inviting all to take a part in the cooking process. The Paella was amazing and the shared recipe reflects perfectly what we learned in the kitchen! Really amazing night!
