5.00Milo was a great instructor. Loved the small class size which allowed us to be very involved in the cooking process. Paella came out great :)

4.00Paella cooking class and market visit was a great experience. We had about 20 minutes to explore the market and walked a few blocks to a kitchen where sangria and tapas were available. Everyone helped prepare the paella, few cut vegetables,a few cleaned prawns and cooked squid. The chef explained in detail the process of making paella. We would love to take another class soon.
Milo is the man! Best cooking class ever

5.00This was such a top notch experience. You meet at the travelers nest bar (which the staff is so nice and the food is good). You then walk to a private kitchen (our tour was Sunday so the market was closed). Inside the kitchen you mingle with your fellow chefs and drink unlimited sangria and snack on cheese. We then got taught by our chef Milo how to clean the seafood and stir the rice. It was very handson. The night ends with eating your creation.
Great activity!

5.00Very nice activity with visit to the large food market and short walk to the kitchen. Everything was well prepared. The chef showed tips on how to tell the difference between salad peppers and cooking peppers, to prepare mussels and shrimp. After that we all had to help make tonight’s paella. While waiting for it to be ready, tapas, sangria, wine or non-alcoholic drinks were served. During the cooking, we got acquainted with the other participants, so the atmosphere at the dining table was happy and excited. The chef was amazing! Both humorous and good at teaching.

5.00We enjoyed tapas and drinks while the cook prepped. Then we all got to help with the cooking. He even did a veggie option. He explained everything clearly. Our family had a blast! Thanks Milo 😀
