Best thing to do in Barcelona! - I have had the pleasure of attending the paella cooking class twice. Once with colleagues in their larger kitchen, and most recently with my family in their smaller kitchen. Both experiences were incredible and made lasting memories. I highly recommend you book this event when you are in Barcelona. Helina and Maria are responsive, reliable, informative, and FUN!

10/10 market to plate experience! - We loved this cooking class. What a great way to get an authentic sense of Spanish cuisine and culture. Maria was a great teacher, answered all our questions and was very patient. It was a very hands on experience - we loved tasting the sangria and cava throughout the afternoon. We learnt so much about food and cooking techniques. We will definitely try to re create this dish at home in Australia with our family. Would recommend this cooking class to anyone !

Amazing experience learning and cooking paella! - This whole cooking experience was absolutely amazing. Maria and her team went above and beyond to accommodate my allergies and allowed me to make my own separate paella for just one person (definitely reach out to them via WhatsApp and they work with you). The market experience was awesome. We started with a cold glass of cava which helped to cool you off as you walked around the market and learned about all the different products and why we were purchasing them. Learning the difference between Jamon Iberico vs Jamon Serrano; seeing a fresh squid/cuttlefish being broken down in front of you, what spices are essential to paella and what things at the market are tourist traps. The cooking experience was also just as amazing where we learned every step of the paella process, and they made sure to include everyone in the group within the cooking experience (we were a group of 6). Finally we learned all about the proper way to make sangria / pan con tomate and more. This experience was just so great and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about food and culture!

A Barcelona experience not to miss! - We took part in a private evening class as part of a hen party. We had an absolutely lovely time making our paella and sangria. Maria was absolutely fabulous. We laughed a lot, drank a lot and had a lot of laughs. Thanks so much again 🥰

Great class and time - Helina is a great host! Not only a chef. The stroll thru the market was very educational. Her place is very welcoming. The sangria and Paella were excellent and we learnt how to make them pretty well. She is good with adults as well as kids. Very nice time and meal and limitless wine! Anita and John
