5.00Elisa was a great instructor! She was personable, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. We enjoyed every aspect of our experience: choosing our paella ingredients; shopping at the market; and preparing our sangria, salad, and paella. The meal was incredible! The facility was immaculate.
Educational and pleasant

5.00My friends and I try to take a cooking class in every city we travel to; this was hands down the most professional one we have ever done. Everything was prepped, but we actually got to do the cooking - unlike many classes where the teacher just demonstrates, or steps in to do things for you. We learned some techniques, like making custard and pouring traditional cider, and took home multiple boxes of food at the end as the feast was so plentiful! The one note I'd say is to look closely at which class you book - one is for tapas, one is for paella. Both parties in our tapas class were confused as we thought we would also make paella. But overall, would highly recommend!

5.00I can’t say enough good things about this class. It was a highlight of our trip to Spain! The market experience was very informative and the paella we made was the best we had our entire vacation. Being able to create your own complete Spanish meal in such an authentic way brought all the cultural things we love about traveling to new places into once great memory! If you’re going to Madrid make sure you include this place in your stay!
Sangria, Gazpacho, Paella! Oh My!

5.00The walking tour to the local marketplace was very useful for us because we were staying in the neighborhood. The chef/instructor was clear with instructions (even if some people didn't follow them). She also gave us some insights into Spanish culture. The dishes were really tasty and made a nice lunch. I'm looking forward to making gazpacho at home and even feel like I could make paella as well. This was a really fun and filling :) experience for us.
What a great experience! ...
