Highly recommended activity while in Madrid. Eduardo is very good. he brought us to the market and taught us to make sangria, Gazpacho and Paella! He also debunked many myths about paella! Thank you. Truly memorable!
Angel, our chef was very fluent in English, pleasant in instructing and very knowledgeable. I recommend this 100% if you are in Madrid. My partner ans I loved this activity. We learned to make sangria, gazpacho and paella.
it was a great class! we loved walking around the market and learning about the different foods we will be cooking with. You make your own Sangria, salad and Paella. then you get to eat it with everyone.
Awesome cooking experience! Angel was really friendly and we learnt so many new tips from him. In fact, the paella we cooked was the best on our entire Spain trip! A wonderful family activity for all ages. Highly recommended.
anazing class!! enjoyed chef’s techniques and notes for making traditional Paella! highly recommend everyone to try this
I had a fantastic experience! It is my first time doing a cooking class overseas, and it blew me out of the water. The chef is super funny and entertaining, and the instructions were pretty easy to follow. We made the best paella, sangria, and lettuce that I had on my trip. Highly recommended - I had a really amazing time :)
Fantastic experience, love the interaction between the chef and the stall holders at the market. Chef gave us many tips how to make Gazpacho, paella & sangria. Taste fabulous.
Super fun! You can explore the market and learn about different ingredients in Spanish culture, their varieties, and how they're made... you can gain knowledge along the way. Every dish we made in the class was delicious, especially the Spanish rice. I think it was even better than what you get in restaurants. I had a very pleasant morning here. Even if you're going solo, it's no problem at all ❤️
Amazing class. Highly recommend. We had a market tour and learned how to to pick ingredients. Best sangria we have ever tired.
We had so much fun in our paella class, from buying the ingredients fresh till we start cooking. Our chef Angel is very knowledgeable, time sensitive and full of good vibes, without any dull moments! Sangria making is included and an appetizer so it's a good deal. It's very interactive and lots of things to learn, with some side tips to make your paella doable to where we reside. Such a good deal and good way to eat paella😉 go and purchase their class if you haven't decided yet, no regrets at all!
