This cooking class was a highlight of our vacation! I loved that we shopped for fresh ingredients at the local markets. Elisa told us about the culture and origins of the food. She was very informative and helpful. The food and sangria we made was delicious. I highly recommend booking this class!

Oh my gosh!! What a fantastic time!! Eduardo was our chef/teacher and he was very friendly, funny, patient, kind, and knowledgeable. The overall vibe of the class was lighthearted, fun, and he made everything easy to understand! We made sangria (and sipped it throughout the class), tortilla de patatas, chorizo a la sidra, gamba al ajillo, crema Catalana, y pan con tomate. Time just flew by and I feel like I learned so much! I would recommend this class to anyone who loves food and loves to cook or is willing to try!!
A wonderful cultural experience in Madrid. Eduardo is a great teacher. We learned a lot about Spanish cooking. We had fun making our sangria, paella and salad and enjoyed eating it!! Highly recommend this culinary experience!
If I could give this tour more than five stars, I definitely would! Teresa was absolutely wonderful, and this was one of the best tours we’ve ever taken! She kept the group engaged and shared a wealth of knowledge with us. We started at the market to purchase ingredients we would need for our sangria, gazpacho and paella. It was so interesting to experience a local market and hear the stories of the vendors. Upon returning to the cooking studio, we began our preparations. Everything was very well organized and ready for us to get to work. We were able to prepare our meal from start to finish, and at the end, enjoyed a wonderful lunch. We couldn’t have been more pleased! Thank you, Teresa, for a wonderful experience!!!
Angel was a wonderful instructor at the Cooking Point which was so clean and accommodating for all of our cooking. He was a knowledgeable instructor and we enjoyed the shopping for ingredients and learning about Spanish foods and techniques for cooking. Highly recommend!
A fantastic experience. Eduardo is a great teacher, who I learnt a lot of kitchen techniques from. A really fun morning with fellow students from all over the world.
The proof of his teaching technique has been that I have able to make the paella & sangria successfully for my family a few times already.
Great experience! Eduardo was friendly and an excellent chef! Had a great time—would highly recommend
This cooking class was so much fun! We had a great time learning how to cook these meals ! I would definitely recommend to all!
Chef Eduardo made this such a great experience! We visited a mercado where we chose ingredients and spoke with local vendors. Then back in the kitchen we cleaned veggies, cut and cooked paella mixta, gazpacho and sangria undr the chef’s expert direction. Chef was magnificent, organized and knowledgable! The
A great fun evening, if you like cooking, and then sharing all the food with others round the table I did worry going solo but it wasn't a problem. Learnt some great news recepies, which you get given to take home as well. Recommend to anyone who enjoys the kitchen, and learning new foods.
Food excellent
Teacher first class, created a great atmosphere
Great experience with lots to prepare, cook and eat. Would recommend and also repeat on another visit.
From visiting the Market for Meat,seafood and vegetables to the making of Sangria, Gazpacho and Paella to eating, this was an amazing experience. Theresa was fabulous. Engaging and thorough with her instructions. I would do this again in a heartbeat.
This is absolutely the best experience ever. Our chef Teresa was warm, funny, sassy, loving, kind, knowledgeable- she made the experience AMAZING!!! Ok now about the experience- we walked to the market (fabulous) she taught us about fresh products at the seafood, pollo, carne and vegetable markets. We made sangria, paella and Gazpacho. All were amazing!!!!
This cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip! Visiting the local market, learning about fresh ingredients, and making authentic paella in Spain was such a fun and memorable experience. It was well organized, hands-on, and delicious from start to finish. If you’re visiting Spain, this is an experience that deserves a spot on your bucket list.
Its so worth learning new skill. Elisa was a very informative, patient, skilled teacher and host! She handled a big, diverse group with ease.
My experienced was sooo sooo amazing. It gives me more confident cooking back home about spanish cuisine. I know we did not cook alot of dishes but, the Spanish philisophy was soo brilliant.
Chef Angel was soo professional and derseverd more than 5 stars in review.
The class was fine for both adults snd children of 12 years. The location was easy to find and the kitchen was very clean. The market experience was interesting and the cooking instruction was clear. People not used to cutting with knives might need more time
This was a hands-on cooking class with a great instructor! Very interactive, all well explained and fun! Highly recommend this as an activity to do in Madrid
I'm Vincent from Hong Kong. Chef Melisa was wonderful and very friendly. We prepared several delicious tapas, and she shared many funny stories that made the class enjoyable and memorable. It was a great way to learn about Spanish food and culture. Highly recommended!
This was an excellent experience. Our group of four travelers has participated in numerous cooking experiences. This is top two easily. Would recommend it for anyone interested in learning Spanish cooking. We were in the tapas and sangria class. Time flew by as we prepared five “small” plates plus Sangria plus dessert. All four members of our group gave it five stars.
The course was fun, informative and the food was fantastic! Eduardo was excellent with his explanation of what we were cooking, how to cook it and how the food was significant in the Spanish culture.
Enjoyable fun cooking experience. They recognized my vegetarian preferences. Don’t forget to tip! 🌱
We loved the entire experience. We especially loved visiting the local markets. Our instructor made the experience fun and we loved experiencing it with people from other countries. The food turned out great!
This cooking class was excellent! We got a brief tour of the market across the street with a lesson on some of the classic Spanish ingredients. As someone who almost never cooks, the recipes and instructions provided allowed me and my friend to make some amazing dishes for our own dinner. Specifically, we made sangria, crema catalana, tortilla, gambas, and chorizo...and I hope I can recreate the recipes at home for myself.
This was a wonderful experience. It was fabulous going to the market and seeing all the wonderful produce etc. That was followed by a great experience in our hands on cooking lesson. Very friendly atmosphere. The teacher and the food were outstanding.
Excellent! Great place, great teacher, the whole experience from buying ingredients to eating the paella! So much great information! Very pleased with this experience!
This was truly a core memory I will take with me from our travels to Spain. Started off with a trip to the market and then the most amazing cooking class where we made sangria, gazpacho, and seafood paella. Our entire family had so much fun. The food was excellent. Time and money well-spent. Book this...you won't regret it!
We had the best time learning to cook traditional Spanish cuisine. Very hands on and everything tasted so good.
We loved this class. Eduardo was a terrific guide to help us cook 6 different tapas. At the end of the three hour hands on cooking lesson, we then ate the food we cooked at a sit down table. What a great experience!
Amazing fun, Chef Teresa was absolutely hilarious and good fun. She made the entire experience so much more enjoyable and the food was really good, surprised I cooked it myself haha
Exceptional class, entertaining and highly informative. Sangria, paella and gazpacho were all incredible- as was the visit to the local market to buy produce.
