Additional Information

Our most sought-after service is this combination of a market tour and cooking class, spanning roughly four hours. The journey commences with a walk with our professional chefs to the globally renowned La Boqueria market in close proximity. You’ll be guided through an ‘exclusive access’ tour where you’ll interact with the established vendors, many are generation-old stall owners. Knowledge of regional produce and your involvement in ingredient selection for the later cooking class are the highlights of this tour. Post-market visit, we head back to our kitchen to start preparing a four-course meal. Our classes cater to all proficiency levels and are conducted by professional bilingual chefs. Your involvement in the making of diverse dishes under the careful supervision of our chef trainers ensures an engaging, communal, hands-on experience. Unlimited access to wines is part of the package. We are flexible in reshaping our menus to suit any dietary restrictions, including vegan options.

Can't leave Spain without experiencing!!! - One of our best experiences in Spain! The host was spectacular! He made us feel included and like we were really running the show. The food was incredible as well. My favorite part of all of it was going to the market before hand. Having someone with that knows what they are doing and what they are looking for made the trip 100x better!

Great Market buy and Class - This was so interesting because you start out in the local open market that morning to buy fresh ingredients for the recipes you’ll cook later. Then - very comfortable Kitchen with AC! - stools to sit on - and stations preset for food preparation. Great time to get to know your fellow “chefs” ! Our guide was Sonja and she was mindful of everyone in our group

Fantastic way to spend a day - We have all been to a Market before, but when you have an experienced guide that explains to you difference between what appears to be the same produce is a whole new thing. Then to gather up the ingredients needed for our cooking class, head across the road to their kitchen and prepare several dishes with a small group was just a fantastic way to spend a day. Special mention to our wonderful chef Sonia, a truly beautiful person who absolutely made it extra special.

Excellent cookery course - Great experience- the trip to La Boqueria was fascinating. Chef Juan was a brilliant teacher & great fun. We were in a friendly international group, learned lots & got to cook and then eat some excellent dishes (plus you get the recipes so you can cook them again at home)!
