Amazing experience

Susan_G, Sep 2026

Highly recommend this cooking class Morgan was our Chef, who is Michelin trained and very knowledgeable in the culinary world. She provided us great insight on what we were cooking and the local products we were using. I have a few food allergies and she curated a special menu for us so that I could eat the meal we were preparing. Very professional. Location amazing. Facilities excellent. Highly recommend.

Foodieteca is wonderful tourist activity

Rita_S, Aug 2026

Perfect cooking experience. To start, the space is beautiful and in a great location. Our guide/chef Morgan was Michelin-trained and provided wonderful support and taught us along the way. We made the best paella I have ever had (3 types: meat, seafood & vegetarian for our group) and we enjoyed other delicious tapas, gazpacho, and dessert. It was a lovely way to share and spend time with friends.
