A Must do activity jn Barcelona - Chef Kako met us at the market and we had such a great time learning the proper ingredients ro make Paella. He allowed us to look around the market on our own. Then we went to the kitchen and he cooked for us. Every step, he educated us on why and how to make paella. It was a great experience.

Highly Recommend - Luca was friendly and professional. His cooking and instructions were outstanding. It felt like a labor of love for him.
The class is offered in a small group setting around a large table - only our family and another family in the professional kitchen where the class is held. Luca first took us shopping for fresh ingredients at La Boccaria market. Back at the kitchen we were seated around the table while Luca made us tapas and served them to us. Simple but delicious.
He then walked us through paella making, including us in the process. He even made a vegetarian version specifically for the single vegetarian in the group (me).
I will come back next time I’m in Barcelona.

This is not that other cooking class. Do this one! - I’ve taken other classes, this was much different. I walked away with a tip for buying my favorite wine, a recipe for another dish I couldn’t master, and an Amazon purchase to upgrade my home paella game. This was perfect.

Great class with Andrea - Really nice class! Andrea was an excellent guide, teacher, and chef! You can participate to the extent you’d like (just drinking Sangria is an option!) for the cooking portion of the class. The whole experience is about 3 hours long, and you can scan a QR code at the end to receive the recipe. We were lucky and there weren’t too many people in the class, but I imagine in the summer it would be packed in the kitchen.

Cooking class fun - Overall a good experience. To improve the interaction between chef and customers during the preparation of paella.
Times a bit pressing because of other groups coming.
