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.

What an amazing... - What an amazing experience! My partner and I can not recommend this activity more. We had a fab time and it was something different. It was also very personal which we enjoyed. If you are thinking of doing a cooking course, definitely sign up for this one.

Hands down one of the... - Hands down one of the best and memorable activities we did during our trip to Spain. We were deciding between this paella class and a more popular, larger paella class. Decided to have a more private setting…. Best decision ever! You definitely get a more personal experience and sort of “live like a local” while spending time with Chef José. Got to learn about him and his background, about Valencia and its food. Went through 3 pitchers of sangria and ate sooo good. We were given the choice of participating in the cooking versus just watching, my friends opted to watch while I really wanted to participate. By the end of the class, everyone had a hand in the kitchen. You just couldn’t not be inspired to cook! You could tell that he is passionate about food and sharing it with others. Perfect for 1-5 people who really want to immerse themselves.

A Glimpse into Valencian Cuisine - We had a great time learning to make sangria, ajoblanco (the best we’ve had), and Valencian coffee. It was a wholesome experience with my partner. I highly recommend this to other couples and small groups of friends!
