A Valencia must do - We had a great time cooking together. The paella we made was delish. The chef is so knowledgeable that I feel like I could actually cook a paella and do a decent job. He talked about the different features of what is a good paella and how to achieve it, how to overcome problems that may arise. And he gave us contact info in case we have questions when making it at home. Great time, great paella, great tapas, great sangria, great night!

Relaxed, informative and fun - Myself and my partner attended the class. We were two of four, so it was very relaxed and informative. We prepared everything with Antonio, who is a very personal and friendly guy. He knows his craft very well, and we laughed with him a lot. Both myself and my partner had a great time, and went home feeling very full. I would have sero hesitation recommending the experience, we enjoyed every part of it :)

Learned to make a REAL Valencia paella - My wife and I had a wonderful experience in a real working kitchen. Our paella master chef was delightful and engaging. The end result of our group effort was amazing. Not sure if I will ever be able to look at paella the same way in the future now that I've had a taste of an official Valencia style paella. Hopefully I can replicate this at home. Fortunately he gave us the recipe!

Be prepared to get cooking. Get involved for the best experience - This was an enjoyable couple of hours making Paella. Carlos clearly knows what he’s doing and the final product was delicious despite the 8 “cooks” who tried their best to help. On our evening this was Carlos first time teaching at this location so he was feeling his way around a new kitchen a bit but the final product was high quality. We went out and bought our own Paella Pan to try to see if we can repeat what we leaned. Fingers crossed because we’ve been given the tools. It’s up to us now. Finding rabbit for our own version may be a challenge though…
