Highlights
  • Valencia Club Cocina - Do you want to discover the most traditional recipes of Spanish and Valencian cuisine? If the answer is affirmative, come and enjoy this experience.

The day does not start in the kitchen… but rather visit the neighborhood market, Mercado Algirós, where we buy the best and freshest Mediterranean ingredients that are part of our culinary culture. (The visit to the market will be made only for morning groups)

Once you have touched the base of the Valencian gastronomic culture with the essence of the neighbor, it is time to continue with our Paella workshop.

You will make a traditional menu with Valencian paella as the main course, potato omelette and coca en llanda with milk ice cream, a typical Valencian dessert. Meanwhile, you enjoy local wines from one of the best-known wineries in the area.

Lastly, and most importantly, now it’s time to eat! Enjoy the food and share your experience with the chef, toasting with wine and sangria!

At the end, the cooks will give you a personalized and newly printed diploma with your group photo along with the recipe for Valencian paella to cook at home.

Great food, great time! - Actively involved in the process was great with step by step instructions. The chefs were great at communicating but also super friendly and funny which made for a great atmosphere. The random pairing with strangers in the group is probably one of the best things as you meet new people and have a great time. The sangria also helps! I would have been happy to go again but they did too good of a job in making us a paella experts:)))

If you came to Valencia for paella this is the spot! - The entire experience was just fantastic! Our chef/ teacher was really engaging-giving us both great food traditions as well as helpful cooking secrets! He was really good at connecting everyone to the process without anyone feeling like they could not do their part. Of course the final product was amazing. Well worth it.

Great Experience! - We thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and learning to cook paella! Luis was a great teacher and it was very interesting to learn all the tips and tricks for the ultimate paella. Also learning to make the Spanish omelet for the appetizer and the sponge cake for dessert was also very interesting. We would highly recommend Luis and this Valencian paella workshop! P.S. If you're going for the 11 AM class, don't eat a full breakfast ;-)
