What an incredible experience with chef Jose Rodriguez. We met at a nearby location, location, and walked to his apartment. Immediately, he is warm and welcoming. Chef Jose not only showed us how to cook, but taught us about the origins of the dishes and from where the ingredients originated. Started with Vermut and a “molecular” bite made from anchovy and olive. (No picture☹️) After that, chef’s personal twist on agua de Valencia. Next, “A bite of Spain” which was grated tomato on crystalle bread topped with jamon and olive oil. Then ajoblanco which was to die for! Next we learned step by step how to make the paella! And Chef Jose is very passionate about his paella! To say it was delicious as an understatement. It came out perfectly. But that was not the end. After that, we had creameat with tiger milk foam and fartón! Perfect ending to a perfect meal! Cannot say enough about Chef Jose and this experience.

Suzie was all kinds of fun! She is used to offering food tours so had lots of information about local food and local food culture! If I make it to Valencia, I will look her up!

Had a great time with Andy. Learned a lot about local culture in Valencia.

What a wonderful experience with Nicole! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. Her beautiful, sun-filled terrace, surrounded by lush plants and gorgeous succulents, created the perfect setting for such an intimate and personal cooking experience. Nicole was absolutely amazing. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing her knowledge. We learned so much about Spanish cuisine while preparing delicious tapas with fresh, quality ingredients. The entire experience felt authentic, relaxed, and incredibly enjoyable. It was truly one of the highlights of our time in Barcelona. We felt comfortable and safe throughout the experience. Highly, highly recommend!

Learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with Lola. The small group setting was fantastic. The accommodations to support gluten free Croquettes as part of the class was amazing. Even accommodated request for a non seafood Paella (in addition to the planned black rice seafood paella. Can’t wait to try recipes back home.

Best meal of our trip! Our market tour & paella cooking class with Josh was one of the highlights of our time in Barcelona. Josh did a wonderful job teaching us how to make authentic paella. Oh, and the sangria was the best I’ve had!

Best cooking class in Barcelona! Fantastic! The experience of going through a local market, meeting the artisans, and snacking on delicious bites was great. We learned about the local culture a well as recommendations for other places to visit while in Barcelona. Stefano and Veronique were gracious hosts. The class was well laid out and very hands on, which was amazing. Couldn't have had a better time! We hope all cooking experiences can be like this one!
