A culinary deep dive in Valencia - Chef Jose was exceptional in guiding us through the proper steps in making an authentic Valencian paella. He was patient and encouraging as my sixteen year old son cooked paella for the first time while we participated in getting the main ingredients ready for the meal. We were treated to the chef personally creating two tapas and a delicous gazpacho soup to start the meal. We enjoyed sitting in the kitchen eating our freshly made paella like families do on Sundays in Spain. We finished our meal with two different chef-prepared local desserts. Both were delicious. We would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to embrace Spanish culinary culture.

Favorite Experience in Valencia - This is not to be missed! Jose is an amazing host and the food was incredible. We cooked authentic Paella Valenciana in Jose’s home and learned cooking techniques and ingredients we can use at home. This is THE must-do experience in Valencia! 5 stars!

As chef for a day - Unbelievable. First Jose, great person, very friendly and professional. Smoothing from everyone, as if among friends, on any day that seemed like a Sunday with family. In his flat, cooking together, discovering chef tricks and the food has come out very very rich. I recommend it to everyone.

Cooking extravaganza - Jose welcomed us into his home and treated us as if we were family, a truly personalized experience! We had delicious drinks and amazing tapas in addition to the paella, too many good things that it is impossible to pick only one favorite. We had so much fun learning about the local region foods and using new tools in the kitchen we have not used before. An incredible experience that I highly recommend, Jose’s personality and Michelin tasting food definitely make it worth it.
