Best Paella cooking class - This class was so much fun and educational. The staff was great. The food and drinks were amazing. From the tapas before the class to the final paella product. One of the best food tour classes we have done overseas.

A good time was had by all! - My wife and I took the seafood paella cooking call yesterday and had an excellent fantastic time. The meet-up was flawless and the trip to Ruzafa market to buy the ingredients was both informative and a good way to break the ice between the participants. The tapas and sangria that we were served upon arrival at the kitchen didn’t hurt either. The preparation was explained in detail and everyone got a chance to participate in the cooking process. The chefs were both friendly and knowledgeable and took time to make sure that everyone was having an enjoyable experience. The meal we cooked was excellent and we all enjoyed making new friends as a part of this shared experience. As a matter of fact, we ran into some of our new friends today while sightseeing and exchanged information about Barcelona where coincidentally, we are all going tomorrow. Well done to the entire team from MyFirstPaella. On a 1-5 scale we rate them a solid 10!!

Great paella experience in Valencia - Anna and Chris were amazing. We had alot of fun, ate delicious food and learned so much about cooking paella. I highly recommend the experience. The Rustafa neighborhood market was delightful and a great way to start the class. By the end we all felt like family.

My first paella - excellent - What an excellent day. Because of the tragic events in Valencia our numbers were fewer than normal. We met outside the Russafa market, went inside to collect the ingredients required. Off to the kitchens where we were greeted with freshly made Sangria followed by tapas. Then our team gave a spirited, informative presentation of cooking paella as we followed their instructions in preparing and cooking. Best part we then ate our paellas washed down with a couple of glasses of wine. You could not improve on this day, thoroughly enjoyable.

So much fun , it’s a must IMO - Ok first off , let help out all future paella cooking class folks , when you get dropped off at the location , hang about near the stone steps , that’s the meeting point , kinda across from the market , we were roaming around looking for the place for approximately 15 minutes, till we ran into someone who looked as confused as us , and then more ppl showed up in the area , and all worked out After the initial confusion, the fun begins , we shopped for all the ingredients for our meal , and then a 10 minute walk to the kitchen , to cook Beer , wine , sangria, and cooking with stellar ingredients, this was an absolute blast The chef/hosts and top notch , would do this again in a heart beat
