Cooking Class - We joined the cooking class on a hot day in July but the room so lovely and cool. There were only four in the class and we had lots of... read more fun meeting new people and learning the secrets of Spanish cuisine. We learnt a lot and I would highly recommend this class.

  My 3 daughters and I went to this class and we had an excellent time. We had the extended class where we had a tour of the market to learn... read more how to pick out the various ingredients for the dish. You get a history of the dish and learn skills for a wonderful meal, including a tasty sangria. I have enjoyed making Paella many times since the class. Highly recommend giving it a try.

  What a fun experience! There were 11 of us and Eladi made sure each person participated in making the paella! He gave us stories and history about Spain and paella.... read more I would high recommend this experience!

  Delicious and entertaining way to learn to make paella - This was a really enjoyable class: 11 participants having fun together making paella, crema catalana and sangria. Eladi conveyed the history and the cultural significance of paella and we all... read more participated in making this delicious dish. We then ate our creation, drank the sangria and finished off with the crema catalana. A very enjoyable experience and definitely easy enough to try back home.

  Local Experience at its best! - WONDERFUL. Relaxing and absolutely local experience. Great space. Lovely, knowledgeable hostess. I can safely say this (apart from Sagrada Familia and Gaudi) was the highlight of our trip to Barcelona.... read more We felt so refreshed and relaxed after this experience. I highly highly recommend doing this if you have half a day to spare. In fact make time for this. You wont regret it. My kids (11y and 8y - YES!) did a lot of cooking and chopping and totally loved it. Anna was amazing; I would do this again anyday.

  A highlight of Barcelona trip! Learn, actively participate in cooking, and eat a declious meal you helped make! - As a guy whose not into cooking, I was initially apprehensive about spending 3 hours of a vacation in a cooking class. Boy o boy was I wrong. Anna was... read more AWESOME, I learned about how she grew up with food specifically with a dish I liked, paella. What was just a dish I ordered at a restaurant to me before became more personal through Anna.

I had some friends who took a different cooking class from someone else the day before, they reported it was a very passive experience as they sat and watched the instructor do most of the cooking. This is definitely NOT the case with Anna's class. You will don a cooking apron and actively participate in the cooking process. Yes you will be handling knives so don't cut yourself as my friend did! After the cooking process is done, you will sit down and enjoy the creation you just made. Talking with Anna over the meal was like getting to know a new friend that is a local, we learned so much more about Barcelona, she was also interested in us and our own backgrounds as well.

I'd highly recommend booking a cooking class with Anna, if you're a small group and are flexible I'd ask if she has any open spots if you want a more intimate experience as our cooking class with our group of 4 was.
