Fun family experiences - Our family of 5 - 2 adults + 3 children ages 14, 11 & 6 - truly enjoyed this experience in Barcelona. The tour of the Boqueria was informative and we felt like we had the inside track on where to find the best stands and quality food. The cooking was even better - from the fresh ingredients to the easy instructions and complete inclusiveness for all ages. The final dishes were delicious and we all enjoyed eating our delicacies! Our chef was kind and patient and was able to gear cooking tasks to even our most novice chefs.

A great experience! - The cooking class was a highlight of our stay in Barcelona. The day started with the tour of the markets and purchase of our ingredients - this was great. The preparation and cooking was a lot of fun. The professional chef was very talented, explained everything really well and was extremely patient. There was only another couple in the class so we had a very personalised class. The finale was tasting the food we had prepared over a lovely glass of wine. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone visiting Spain. Many thanks for a great experience. Sue

An amazing experience! Each of us was like a sous sous-chef. The group made five dishes! - Wow! Started with a brief tour of a working market, and buying some items that will be used in the class. Then, on to the class. Not for total beginners, but am amazing experience!

A MUST DO when in Barcelona! - This was one of the most enjoyable experiences during our 7 days in Barcelona. Sonya took us to the nearby market to pick up fresh ingredients for 5 delicious menu items we helped prepare. She gave us helpful information regarding many of the ingredients. It was a relaxing, friendly atmosphere and we all left quite satisfied and full!!

Definite Travel Highlight! - Terrific experience. We’ve taken cooking classes before but not like this. It was nice to start from scratch by shopping for the ingredients and then learn how to prepare everything. The end result was a feast! Moreover, the portions of food and wine were very generous. Job well done, Sonja ( our instructor). Thanks!
