Coca is like a Valencian Pizza, made with a thin and crispy beer pastry. Let me teach you how to make this tasty local delicacy and you can make it again back home to remind you of your trip. It's a naturally vegan recipe. I choose the seasonal vegetables in the local market to make the toppings with.
The ingredients for the salad and fruit desert will also be bought at Ruzafa market. In the summer we can make sorbets and fruit salads, in the winter fruit puddings. This experience is a joy to the senses and an insight into the local culture.

What To Expect
. We'll wash our hands and get our aprons on to start cooking. We’ll prepare a local Vermut aperitivo and try it while making the local dish coca. Coca is a Valencian style ‘pizza’ made with a typical beer dough. The coca is naturally vegan and topped with seasonal vegetables. While the coca is in the oven we’ll prepare a seasonal salad and a simple fresh fruit dessert. We'll all sit down around the table and eat the meal we prepared together with local beer or wine to enjoy the food and each others company in the beautiful unique setting. We can talk about all the gorgeous seasonal produce available in Valencia, the great places to eat and drink here, the history of Valencian cuisine and anything else that takes our interest! Hopefully we can make friends by bonding through cooking together. It is a joy hosting these tasty 0km experiences for your pleasure.

Morven's genius

5.00This was definitely a hands-on experience I'd like to have more in the future. The recipes were very fun to cook. Morven always shaped our vision and approach on how to prepare components. Morven inadvertently gave so many practical advises, because she is a great chef. I like that a lot about her. Now I know how to cook a koka!
A fun experience and delicious food!

5.00I enjoyed this class so much and the food was delicious! Morven makes you feel very welcome in her beautiful kitchen and puts you at ease immediately. Morven is a great teacher and her passion for food and knowledge of local dishes and ingredients was fantastic. The class is done in a relaxed way, it’s not rushed and there’s plenty of chat and laughter as you cook. It’s hands-on but help is there if needed and I was really impressed at how well my coca pizza turned out! It was lovely to sit around the table together at the end to enjoy the food and I left feeling excited to take the skills that I’d learnt and try things on my own at home.
Excellent workshop!

5.00Morven's cooking class was a highlight of my trip! Her passion for plant-based cuisine is contagious. I loved learning how to make such delicious pizzas. The class was hands-on, and Morven was patient and encouraging. The atmosphere was so relaxed and fun. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in vegan cooking.
Surprisingly Easy Once You Know How

5.00We had lots of fun, Morven is a great instructor, she makes it all simple. If you like to cook but are worried about it being too complicated to follow or replicate don't worry. You'll be able to replicate the recipe easily. During the class I learned how to make three dishes, each with wow factor but also very easy to make. I got a few ideas for other things to do with my cooking. Afterwards we took home a little bag of leftovers so we were sorted for dinner as well. The location is terrific too, right in the heart of Ruzafa but just "off to the side" a few doors down a quaint street. So you're in a great area with plenty of things to see and do before and after the class. The whole thing was a lot of fun, Morven has a lot of character and she makes everyone feel welcome.
Really enjoyable experience and great food. Definitely recommend!

5.00I had a really enjoyable experience learning how to make Valencian coca pizza with Morven, she is a warm and welcoming host who really knows her stuff and it was easy to follow. The pizza was so tasty, in fact everything was delicious. I love that you can make the pizza with a variety of fresh ingredients, so if you are vegan you will also really enjoy this. A fun afternoon in a lovely place! Definitely recommend.
10 out of 10!

5.00I so loved this cooking experience with Morven She is warm, welcoming, funny, and a very talented chef. She was full of interesting information about Spanish food and culture. We joined her as she skilfully navigated us around the wonderful Ruzafa market where she knew the best stalls to go for the best local organic produce and I learnt to cook a great dish that I can impress my friends and family with back home. We had wine and lots laughter sat around her big table in her beautiful home enjoying what we made. This cooking experience was way above and beyond what I could have imagined. Thank you so much Morven. It was the highlight of our trip to Valencia.
Fantastic tasy and fun experience

Cooking with love and pampering

5.00A few days ago I was lucky enough to enjoy the cooking workshop with Morven. The hours with her flew by. We meet at one of the gates of the Ruzafa Market and visit the local produce stops where Morven usually buys. It provided me with very interesting information about the Ruzafa Market and the products and ingredients to use in the menu we were going to make. In his house, very close to the market, we prepared together the different dishes of the menu that we later enjoyed accompanied by a good albariño. Morven explained how to cook the different dishes and made me part of their preparation. And that’s how we tasted a great Valencian coke, a Valencian salad and a watermelon sorbet. Morven made me feel super comfortable, it was like cooking with a friend. And not only was I lucky enough to taste the menu we cooked, but you can also take home some coke to continue enjoying it. 100% recommend this cooking workshop with Morven.
