5.00Chef Andrea was great. Very funny, entertaining and informative. It was very interactive. He made it clear we could be as involved as we wanted. Meaning if we wanted to just watch and drink Sangria, we could do that too. Everyone in my class was very hands on. Food was delicious! Thank you Chef Andrea for a fabulous afternoon.
Chef Juan’s Paella Making Class

5.00I’ve done plenty of cooking classes in my life. Sometimes “hands on” is mostly hands off! Chef Juan started out taking us to La Boqueria market to shop for ingredients. We also had time to explore this famous market. Back to his cooking space (a supercool setup) we were put to work whilst all along learning the intricacies of making Barcelona’s famous dish. Oh…did I mention snacking on tapas and drinking wine and sangria before and after the paella was ready? The paella was fabulous! 10 outta 10 for the experience. Chef Juan deserves 12 outta 10!!
