Meet Josh (Corporate)

Josh, originally from Portland, Oregon, moved to Spain in 2002 and quickly fell in love with the country’s vibrant culture, language, and cuisine. After years working as a translator, he found his true passion in cooking, learning authentic Spanish recipes and techniques from local families. In 2018, he opened his own Barcelona cooking studio to share his love of Spanish gastronomy with visitors from around the world. Today, Josh specializes in corporate team-building cooking classes in Barcelona, where groups bond over local flavors and friendly competition. Teams can cook side by side to earn titles like Paella Champion or Ultimate Tapas Chef while discovering the joy of Spain’s food culture through fun, hands-on experiences.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience: (10-35 guests) Experience one of the most engaging team-building cooking classes in Barcelona with Josh and his team of expert chefs. Our hands-on paella or tapas cooking class is perfect for corporate groups and teams looking for a fun, interactive, and educational activity in Barcelona. With over 10 years of experience hosting corporate team-building experiences in Barcelona, Josh and his chefs guide participants through Spanish culinary traditions while fostering teamwork, creativity, and collaboration.

Choose between the Paella Competition or Tapas Challenge, where teams compete to craft the most delicious and creative dish using seasonal, local ingredients. After a welcome drink and chef briefing, each team will cook together, blending flavors and techniques to create their masterpiece. The 3-hour experience ends with a shared meal, dessert, and a lively award ceremony crowning the Champion of the Paella Competition or Ultimate Tapas Chef.

Ideal for corporate team-building events, incentive trips, or large group outings in Barcelona, this unique culinary experience offers the perfect blend of fun, flavor, and friendly competition, a memorable way to strengthen teamwork and celebrate Spanish food culture.

1. Josh can accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free requests with advance notice.
2. In this hands-on experience, you can choose between a Paella or Tapas menu.

For dessert, enjoy Crema Catalana, with a fruit-based option available for those who prefer a dairy-free alternative.
3. Josh can host groups of up to 150 guests. The venue (and price) is adjusted based on group size. For groups of 35 or more, please email us at reservations@travelingspoon.com for a customized quote.

Chris guided us through cooking a delicious traditional Spanish dinner… complete with sangria, seafood paella and crema Catalan. He was friendly, knowledgeable and patient with our entire family. It was the perfect way to round out our trip to Barcelona and our kids loved getting involved in the kitchen. The food was delicious! We would recommend this class to any group looking for a personalized and unique dinner experience.

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!
