Paella: A Family Tradition Passed Down Through Generations
Paella has been a very special ritual for my family since I was a child. Thanks to the advice and teachings of my grandmothers, I’ve been able to recreate the same dish that I now want to share with you. You’ll learn all the steps and secrets to making an exquisite Mallorcan paella. Traditionally, we make it with fish and seafood, but we can also prepare a vegetarian or meat version, depending on your preferences.
The experience takes place in a magical village in the Tramuntana Mountains—Banyalbufar. My father settled here over 15 years ago to create what is now our home and our animals' home, which we call "Ca Tothom," meaning "The House of Everyone." The kitchen is located on the porch, and together with the garden, it creates an idyllic setting for cooking and sharing unforgettable moments.

Cooking the way it should be done

5.00The event is defined by the host. Patricia is amazing, great energy and positivity. Cooking paella in a cozy outdoor kitchen, having sangria and wine is also amazing of course. We learned a lot and then were rewarded by a fantastic meal of paella at the end.

5.00This was my favorite thing we did in Mallorca! The property is charming with it's outdoor kitchen and picnic area and stunning views of the surrounding terraced mountains. Our teacher was enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge and culture with us and made the whole experience so much fun. We spent several hours chatting, eating, drinking and making paella of course (which was excellent!!). Definitely do this if you are visiting Mallorca!
Dreamy day with a great cooking class and super nice host Patricia

5.00Fantastic trip to the mountains with a wonderful host who gave us a dreamy day through the paella cooking class. The terrain is a bit uneven, sturdy sneakers make sense. The 4 hours back and forth were worth it!!!
Authentic paella course

5.00Patri is such a sweet and open soul! She shows flexibility but we really recommend visiting her at her home and also enjoying the town, view, her garden/plants and animals. She takes you down memory lane with her family‘s paella traditions as well as fruits and is such a sweet and talkative soul. We did not only havea lot of fun, great sangria and the best paella ever but also now know how to make it at home (including variability according to preferences) and made a mallorquin friend we‘d love to see and hear from again. Pricing was also more than fair since this was just us in the cooking experience. Highly recommend! 🫶🏼
Perfekt Paella course

5.00This was a wonderful experience. I did this with my parents (who are in their 80s). Everyone very much enjoyed themselves. Patri is an amazing host and teacher and we all loved learning about her village. We then walked to her home and learned so much about making paella. The setting is incredibly beautiful. But Patri really made it special. We all agreed this was the highlight of our trip.
Perfect

5.00From the minute we met Patri was warm and welcoming. We strolled through the village while she shared some interesting facts about Balyanbufar. Then arrived at her beautiful home complete with dag, cats and chickens. Her guidance during the Paella cooking was detailed and relaxed. Everyone could do as much or as little as they pleased. The final result was exquisite, with depths of flavour and freshness you will never find at a restaurant. I would do this again in a heartbeat.
Amazing! If you read this, please book! You won't regret it
