I really enjoyed speaking with the chef after our cooking session. We had a very small group of only four people. It was super fun! We cooked paella and drank sangria. It was great and I loved the recipe! STRONGLY STRONGLY RECOMMEND

Liz and Kako did an amazing job with this experience. My girlfriend and I are from the United States and wanted to do something for dinner and we highly recommend this experience. We got to meet different people from different countries and cultures, making this a great experience to be adventurous. If you want to cook, eat, and drink this is something you should do.

This experience was a highlight of our trip to Barcelona. Our guide/chef was fabulous. The visit to the market to purchase the seafood was fun. Then we walked through the gothic quarter to a quaint dining room and kitchen where we learnt how to make delicious Sangria, were very hands on in the meal prep and then ate a delicious meal - the best paella I ever had! We then were given the recipes to try at home.The experience is one to be recommended.

Amazing class! our guide Jen was so knowledgeable and personable, and the chef Kako knew so much about the food and was so charismatic! Honestly a must-do experience, freshest tasting and most wonderful paella i’ve ever had and more than enough sangria to go around!

My daughters and I had a great time creating paella with Chef Andre. It was great to learn about traditional sangria, learn the proper way to clean prawns, and watch the cooking process. It was a great afternoon experience.

Cooking class is something I always try to do on vacation, but this one was special. The group was a great size and I felt like we all interacted so well with each other…and that makes the classes so much more fun. The instruction by Kiko (or Kako?) and Liz was easy to understand and the resulting paella was proof of their instructional abilities.
The recipe for sangria was a bonus and “killer”! My husband certainly enjoyed the recipe once I got home☺️

We met with our chef Andrea who was kind and knowledgeable. We walked around the local food market where he purchased the fresh ingredients we would be using for our paella. We were given around 25 minutes of time to explore. We then walked to his private kitchen where we began the lesson. He started off by educating us on and making traditional sangria (which was delicious). He then walked us through the preparation required for the paella. That's when we stepped in and began to help with the cooking process. Everything was very clean and safe. The finished meal was absolutely amazing, I finished every bite. I would definitely recommend this experience to those visiting Barcelona.

This was a wonderful experience! We went on Easter Monday, so unfortunately the market was not open. However, the chefs were engaging and entertaining, and the food was delicious. I am excited to try and make paella and sangria at home!
