Couldn’t have asked for a better cooking experience. The market was an amazing upgrade. We learned so much about each ingredient. The cooking school was incredibly clean and architecturally stunning. We absolutely loved the appetizers and cava before we made our way to the stove. It was super inclusive how each job was divvied up. Everyone was able to participate. And what a meal. The paella was excellent, the wine was excellent and we even got a tasty dessert. Definitely book this class while you are in Barcelona. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and the Paella Barcelona cooking school. Five out of five stars.

It was an amazing experience!
Maria is a professional chef: passionate, prepared, engaging and also very nice. From the first moment he made us feel comfortable.
We started the experience with a visit to the Boqueria Market, where he guided us to discover the ingredients, explaining products, seasonality and curiosity. It was great to see the market through the eyes of a local professional.
After an aperitif, we cooked together an excellent cuttlefish ink paella, cared for in every detail and with a really surprising result.
We were thrilled and satisfied with the whole experience: authentic, fun and super engaging.
We recommend it absolutely to everyone!
