5.00Warning!! After learning how to cook this paella no other will taste the same! Chef Jordi was a super host that made learning fun and personable. The experience happens right in his home with a no larger group of 8 people. We started our day at the market buying the key ingredients, a short walk later through the beautiful street of Valencia you arrive at his house. Chef Jordi teaches how to make the perfect sangria, three traditional tapas, and the star of the show…. The paella!!! We ended our experience with a yummy dessert and a little dancing fun! I highly recommend the tour. I know when I come back I will be taking it again.
Must do… valuable and fun paella cooking experience

5.00Paella cooking with Chef Jordi at an intimate setting at his home was the best. The experience included going to the market to buy the ingredients and while cooking, hr shared many valuable tips. The experience felt like cooking with family. The meal at the end was awesome. Thanks Chef Jordi!

5.00You shouldn't come by car. It would be a shame if you can't taste the great drinks. In addition to some tapas as a starter, all together prepare a traditional paella. There's sangria for that. Finally, a delicious dessert.
This was an exceptional...

5.00This was an exceptional experience with a wonderful meal included. The fun started with shopping for the main ingredients, then preparing the meal and having wonderful surprise snacks, drinks, and treats to go along with the prep work. chef Jordi is a gracious and humorous host and teacher that made us all come together as a team. The food we made was I believe the best paella I have ever had, and making it was more fun than you can imagine. Jordi made it a lighthearted and friendly family experience while doing everything to make us feel welcome, and at home. Bravo Jordi!
