This workshop with Eladi as a host and cook is amazing! We cooked (-‘s of course ate :) traditional paella, pan con tomate and made sangria, which was all very... read more tasteful. Eladi is a good story teller and explained all about the origin of the meals and gave us useful tips how to cook at home. We received the recipes afterwards. Nice interaction with the other participants. Would definitely recommend to do when you’re in Barcelona, a different experience than al the touristic ‘go to’s’!

I’m not sure who hosted the event (it wasn’t the couple on the advertised site) but she did tell us she owned a paella restaurant in Taiwan. She was difficult... read more to understand and the paella was not good. More than half of the class did not eat it. Even the sangria was bad. The space was great with plenty of room for everyone.

Absolutely one to check out and suitable for anyone. You also get to enjoy great food and sangria so what’s not to like about it!

Our family of 4 (including 2 small kids) enjoyed the class very much. Eladi was an amazing host with great storytelling, which made the class very special. We stayed in... read more Barcelona for over a week and had paella almost everyday, but the paella we made in the class was definitely the best!

This was a great experience. We went as a family, and were able to truely enjoy the Paella making process. It was a very enjoyable way... read more to meet others that were in Barcelona on holiday from other countries as well. Our teacher was wonderful and really brought the importance of cooking as a family to life. I would definately do this again. In fact, I have all the ingredients together and am having friends next week for dinner. Can't wait to pass on what we learned. Highly recommend this experience!

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.

My 3 daughters and I went to this class and we had an excellent time. We had the extended class where we had a tour of the market to learn... read more how to pick out the various ingredients for the dish. You get a history of the dish and learn skills for a wonderful meal, including a tasty sangria. I have enjoyed making Paella many times since the class. Highly recommend giving it a try.
