  • What a great team

    This was excellent if you like to cook or eat or both. The group is small enough to be able to talk to everyone, but large enough to not be awkward if you run out of things to say. Claudia and the team were great, and so nice. The instruction was great, as were the finished products. The stairs to the location are a lot if you have mobility issues.

  • Great Cooking Class for Typical Paella, Wine, & Dessert

    Claudia was very knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining the ingredients and techniques do make a good paella. Only caveat is that I have yet to receive the recipes promised by email.

  • Best cooking class!

    This was the second time I’d participated in the cooking class with Just Royal, having also done it in 2019. I loved it so much that I did it again this year with family. On both occasions the chef was very welcoming, started us off with a glass of wine (was topped up throughout the class) then explained a number of tapas from different regions while tasting them at the same time and then got the group involved in making the three dishes. Overall a very fun experience.

  • Great Cooking/Culinary Experience, Worth Every Penny!

    Great tour and cooking experience. Claudia did a great job talking about the cuisine of the area. She read the room well and knew how to keep the group engaged. She gave each of us a nickname which made it fun. ALL of the food you cook (don’t watch, participate) is fabulous. Go with an open mind, try new things and meet new, interesting people.

    While visiting Barcelona we were so glad that we decided to book this cooking class. First of all, the studio space that is used for the class, and to dine afterwards, was so charming and comfortable. Claudia, who was our chef instructor, was very knowledgeable and organized as she led us through cooking the Paella, a couple of Spanish omelets and a dessert for each of us. She had a great energy and sense of humor and all of us had a great time. The wine that was served was delicious and they were very generous with the pours. My only suggestions is to enhance the tour of the La Boqueria Market with more stops at key points and more background on the history of the market and food items. There was a nice explanation of the various jamons of the regions. Very fun night and the Paella was the best we had while in Spain. My wife and I would definitely do it again and strongly recommend the class.

    Our first time in Barcelona, appreciated the thorough directions to the class. Unfortunately, our plane arrived late and we missed the beginning of the class, the trip to La Boqueria to shop with our teacher, Janelle. But we did get there in time for the cooking, and Janelle was welcoming, personable and answered all questions. We all got to participate in preparing the food (which was delicious). There was unlimited wine while we prepared/ate the tapas, and then we went to a dining room table to enjoy the paella and dessert. A really fun afternoon and great introduction to the region. I recommend it highly.
