We stayed in Barcelona for 10 days. This was, without doubt, one of the most memorable highlights of our trip. This was not just a cooking class, but... read more an exploration of the emotional and cultural aspects of the rituals around food. Eladi: "In the Mediterranean we don't cook with ingredients, we cook with love ... "[cooking] is about a strong relationship with your loved ones" ... "we take that very seriously".
Everything was perfect! I highly, highly recommend this adventure to everyone! Don't miss it!

We had a great time celebrating 60th birthday with this cooking experience. Learning the history and techniques of true paella and sangria was most enjoyable, we are all looking forward... read more to giving it a try when we return home. Thanks!

Don't search for another "paella class" in Barcelona - this is the one to do. Our host Eladi was truly a charismatic and knowledgable gentleman who made the cooking class... read more feel hands on, but you do just enough work to also relax and enjoy some down time in between certain steps. We chopped our own ingredients (vegetables) while all seafood was prepared ready for us which made it feel relatively clean and quick to prep. We even made our own sangria to enjoy with the sangria - however while it was chilling Eladi served us delicious white wine we enjoyed with a porrón and lots of laughs!
During this experience we learned about the history, styles, and meaning behind paella. With acoustic music playing in the background, we sizzled onions, cooked shrimps, stirred broths and herbs and had a wonderful experience overall. Eladi particularly made the experience stand out. I did this with my best friend, but would recommend for large groups too!

Eladi was an incredible host. Gifted in his generous nature of sharing both food and story. I could not recommend this experience more.

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.

Our group had a lot of fun and we all loved the paella and Catelonia Creme - so much so that we bought a bunch of saffron and smoked paprika... read more and ordered a paella pan to replicate the dishes back home. Thanks for a great time!
