My husband and I absolutely loved this Paella cooking class. It was fantastic, and we left with a lot of tips on how to perfect our own Paella at home.

Wow this was a great experience! Our host started off with a lot of great history and explanation about how that dish of paella came to be. Then we were... read more able to move into three different areas of preparation. The first preparation was for the tapa, and we got to make a very unique starter on bread with garlic, tomato, olive oil, cheese and jamon. Next, we got to prepare all of the ingredients for the sangria. Finally, after enjoying our tapa and learning a little bit more about the main ingredients for the paella, we got to work as a team to prepare all of the ingredients, and then actually begin to cook the meal. As a team we all got to take turns with different steps in the preparation process. It was really cool to watch it all come together and see this amazing dish being created from start to finish. Once we got everything in the pan and turned the heat up, it was time to wait for the dish to be completely cooked. This took about 20 minutes or so, and we were able to enjoy the delicious sangria that we prepared while we waited for the main course to be ready. Finally, the moment of truth! Our host dished out the delicious paella for us, and we got to enjoy it with the sangria as a team. It was a wonderful experience, with much knowledge shared, and an opportunity to make new friends as you work together as a team to create this authentic meal!

As a guy whose not into cooking, I was initially apprehensive about spending 3 hours of a vacation in a cooking class. Boy o boy was I wrong. Anna was... read more AWESOME, I learned about how she grew up with food specifically with a dish I liked, paella. What was just a dish I ordered at a restaurant to me before became more personal through Anna.
I had some friends who took a different cooking class from someone else the day before, they reported it was a very passive experience as they sat and watched the instructor do most of the cooking. This is definitely NOT the case with Anna's class. You will don a cooking apron and actively participate in the cooking process. Yes you will be handling knives so don't cut yourself as my friend did! After the cooking process is done, you will sit down and enjoy the creation you just made. Talking with Anna over the meal was like getting to know a new friend that is a local, we learned so much more about Barcelona, she was also interested in us and our own backgrounds as well.
I'd highly recommend booking a cooking class with Anna, if you're a small group and are flexible I'd ask if she has any open spots if you want a more intimate experience as our cooking class with our group of 4 was.

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!
