Wow, truly one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever done! My friend and I were lucky to have a private cooking class with Eladi and it exceeded our expectations.... read more He was very knowledgeable and taught us the history and meaning behind this iconic Spanish meal.
I had Paella about five years ago in Barcelona restaurant and it was okay, but this time it was incredible! Eladi gave us the expertise to cook this ourselves at home, and this is great if you are pescatarian too.
A must do when visiting Barcelona! And awesome value for the price.

This was a *wonderful* experience for our two families - three adults and four teens. In revieiwing our week in Barcelona, almost everyone listed "making paella" as a highlight.... read more Eladi was warm and lovely - and very knowledgeable - and the food turned out to be absolutely delicious! We don't eat shellfish and contacted Eladi beforehand and we had a private class making Valencian Paella with chicken instead. Definitely consider doing this class... very, very worthwhile!

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

I've made paella before many times based on the way my mom learned in Spain >30 years ago, but I'm positive that my paellas will... read more be much better now that I've taken this class. It was also a fun way to meet fellow travelers in Barcelona.
