What a wonderful experience to have as part of a group trip to Barcelona! Chef Carlos was amazing. He was so kind and informative, and he did such a great... read more job of getting everyone involved, including all the children. He also did a great job of providing just the right amount of information to keep it interesting for everyone and keep things moving forward. Plus the food was absolutely delicious.
Thank you so much, Carlos, for a great time and delicious food and drink! We will definitely be recommending you to friends and family!

So I arrived a bit late but non the less it was very cool what I learned especially regarding the tapas. The sangria and food were all delicious.

This cooking class was really great — although the meal was cooked in one big batch together, we were each given tasks so that we all took part in the... read more meal, and we learned so many things along the way. The paella in the end was so incredible, I’ll definitely try making it again!

I recently took a paella cooking class, and it was an incredible experience! The class provided wonderful insight into the art of making authentic paella, with lots of helpful tips... read more that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. The instructor was knowledgeable and passionate, making the whole experience enjoyable and engaging. For the price, it was great value—not only did we get a delicious meal, but we also walked away with new skills to try out in our own kitchens. I would definitely recommend this class to a friend!

This was our 1st Airbnb experience and my husband and I were both very happy with the cooking class. Eladi exceeded our expectations, he was very welcoming, the food was... read more amazing, and meeting others from around the world made the experience one of a kind. I would highly recommend his cooking class!

I booked this cooking class for my siblings and I on a trip to Barcelona. What was the most anticipated activity of the trip quickly became disappointing when we realized... read more this experience is not correctly advertised, much to my disappointment. We were hoping to attend an authentic class led by the two hosts, Eladi and his wife. Rather, a PHD student from Taiwan, who was hired by the host, taught the class. I will note that she was a student of Latin cuisine, however, this was clearly not the experience we signed up for. Furthermore, the building the class was hosted in was under construction with bare drywall and a vent hood in the “kitchen” that was likely not to code. Save yourself the time and energy and skip this class. So so so disappointed.

We joined the cooking class on a hot day in July but the room so lovely and cool. There were only four in the class and we had lots of... read more fun meeting new people and learning the secrets of Spanish cuisine. We learnt a lot and I would highly recommend this class.

Initially I registered for another paella cooking class, but it was cancelled a day before the class. I looked online and and was glad that i managed to find this... read more class. It was an excellent class! Anna is a very passionate and articulate teacher, and she shared with us all about Spanish cooking. She prepared a drink Sangria with red wine, a dessert crema catalana ( which involves a blow torch), and chicken, prawn and green bean paella. As there was one participant which was vegetarian, we also had a smaller pan of artichoke paella which was delicious. (so its good that you go with a vegeterian! Haha) This class is interactive as for each step Anna would demonstrate and then someone could volunteer to take over. At the end of the class I purchased the wooden spoons we ate with :) I saw that they also had "pimento la vera" and saffron for purchase, but I had already got that on my trip to Granada, a few days ago.
