We 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 😀

We had an amazing time at the paella cooking class! Milo did a fantastic job explaining each step clearly and making the whole process easy to follow. The class was fun, engaging, and very interactive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We learned a lot while also getting hands-on practice making authentic paella. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and delicious activity!

Milo was great! Shared so much knowledge and tips that I’ve already put to use in my cooking. Sangria was flowing all night, along with other snacks and tapas.

This was a really nice experience. Milo was a fantastic host and culinary teacher. Very hands on and thorough- also left time for socializing. I definitely enjoyed it.

We had a great experience with Chef Kako. We started with fresh market ingredients (we even stopped by La Boqueria at the beginning to gather our ingredients). Once we got back to the kitchen we were taught different techniques…cutting vegetables, cleaning seafood, and making Sangria. The Chef made us some tapas to enjoy with our Sangria. Once we were refreshed we proceeded to the making of the Paella. I really enjoyed the small class size which allowed everyone to participate. The paella was delicious!
