5.00Fantastic experience. Our chef, Angel, was very friendly and patient as he walked us through the local market and explained the different steps in making paella and sangria. This is a very hands on experience—Angel expertly guided us through the steps in each recipe, as well as explained the origins of paella, different types, etc. We learned a lot about Spanish culture and food and at the end of the class enjoyed the fruits of our labors. A pamphlet with recipes was also provided to take home. Highly recommend!

4.00Enjoyed the paella cooking class & market visit. Our chef could have spent a bit more time talking about the market but overall, I was happy with the class. Making the sangria & our paella was great way to end our month long Spain 🇪🇸 adventure

5.00Super fun workshop. I did it together with my 12-year-old son and he also really liked it. An alcohol-free sangria was provided for the children and other allergies were also taken into account. The Mood was good (of course this depends on the fellow students). And the teacher (Angel) did great. Good explanation with a joke in between. Highly recommended!

5.00The experience started with Angel explaining what we were going to do in class. We then traveled as a group to the market where Angel gave a brief explanation as to the typical diet of locals as well as well produce, seafood and meats are sourced/consumed throughout Spain. Overall it was an educational, fun and delicious experience.
