Eladi gave us a wonderful afternoon and shared many interesting stories about the meaning of paella, tapas, sangria, and family life in Spain. Would definitely do this again!

Food was delicious, the instructions were clear, every step was planned out. The crispy rice at the bottom of the pan was chefs kiss. Sangria and snacks were delicious. Overall great experience. He’s also very well spoken in Catalon, Spanish, and English. I would do this class again

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.
