This was the most fun ever! Loved our chefs. Loved the experience of helping to make paella. And in the end it tasted fantastic! I would highly recommend!
Super fun experience to have with friends and family. There were 4 tables of 8 at the Valencia Culinary Cocina and everyone got a chance to contribute to cooking the meal. The chefs are engaging and explained every step of the process and the meal and wine were excellent and plentiful. Highly recommend!
This was an absolutely brilliant experience- we not only learned the history of Paella and how to properly prepare it, we shared the time with people from five other countries. We also learned how to cook traditional Spanish omelette and sponge cake for dessert. Pair those with wine and Sangria and it’s as good as it gets!
Good fun, relaxed atmosphere, learnt a lot and tasted some excellent food. Came away with recipes too!
Came to this class to learn how to make paella, which we did, and it was a great experience, but my favorite thing was learning how to make a Valencia “cocoa,” which is cake. Very simple recipe that is very versatile and very delicious. We also learned how to make a tortilla Española. Well worth it. Wonderful experience.
WOW‼️ this cooking class was so much fun and our food tasted delicious. The “Chef” was a delight, he went between Spanish and English seamlessly so we all could understand the process. Us 4 american’s LOVED our experience we would for sure recommend this cooking class.
Group of 10 at a large table. Nice clean well equipped kitchen. Started with a few snacks and water/sangria. The chef was excellent and funny. He explained the 3 things we would be cooking (tortilla, chicken/rabbit paella and cake) particularly the different types of paella and what you could add versus not. He explained preparing things (hands on) as well particularly how to cook the paella and the pitfalls of not doing so.
So much fun — the chef and team were the best. The kitchen experience and learning more about the place paella was born Valencia was beyond expectations. Highly recommend— you will leave full and with new friends

Thank you! 😊 We’re so glad you enjoyed the experience!
We didn't know what to expect when we booked thia tour, but we had so much fun and learned alot about cooking! The chef and sommelier were fantastic and funny, and were very skilled in getting everyone involved, including a couple of kids that were in the group. We prepared the vegetables, added ingredients and spices to the paella, made a cake, and even flipped the pan with the tortilla (egg and potato omelet)!

Thank you so much! 😊🥘 We’re delighted you had fun, learned a lot, and enjoyed cooking with our team!
This was an enjoyable, informative & delicious experience. Our visit was on a Sunday, so the market was closed, so we made the paella, Spanish tortilla & a cake! It was really interesting to learn about the process of making paella & the different variations. This was an incredible meal & large lunch. We left full & happy!

Wonderful experience! Great instructor and we got to participate in cooking 3 dishes eat it all!!!! Highly recommend.
It is a fun class to take solo or with a group of people. Chef Carlos was very nice and outgoing and made sure all people in the class were participating in the cooking. He gave us background information and was providing step by step on how to prepare the paella. Loved the experience so much would definitely do it again!
Amazing time helping to prepare a traditional paella and two other dishes. Even better eating it all afterwards!

Thanks for your feedback! I hope the experience was everything you hoped for.
we had a great time and now remind everyone that paella doesn't have seafood in it :) Though we can't seem to convince our friends otherwise

We truly appreciate your feedback!
A fun evening, in lovely company from folk around the world, under the guidance of Chef Carlos - ensuring we cooked a tasty 3 course meal. Perfect
The chef was easy going and humourless, and taught in a simple manner with simple tasks offered to all in attendance, while not being mandatory to do. There was plentiful sangria, red and white wine, and food for all! Although we were disappointed that the market was closed, we still considered this a great experience

Thank you for your kind words and insights.
What a fun way to spend an evening in Valencia. A wonderful international group of fellow travelers all eager to learn. And learn we did. Our chef was engaging and funny and talented. And the fruits of our labor were fantastico! We will happily do this again when we return someday.

Lovely place, we had a nice chat with our group and the hosts made us feel very welcome. The cooking part was super easy, I expected to be a bit more involved, but in the end I really appreciated all three dishes and the dynamics between the hosts and the group. Would definitely recommend + come hungry!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Fantastic hosts really good interactive lesson..great atmosphere well laid out ..Nice sized group delicious food
David and his team were great! Super engaged and informative. Me and my family (who love to cook) learned a lot, but in a fun way— and the food was delicious! This is a must do in València and no better way to learn the about the culture.
It was very fun, informative and delicious! Highly recommend! Our teenagers enjoyed it as much as we did.
In addition to learning how to make true paella, I also learned a lot of new cooking/baking techniques from the chef. We made paella, an omelette appetizer, and a delicious cake. Sangria and wine were included. Highly recommend this workshop.
