Really fun way to enjoy authentic paella with quality ingredients. - We had an absolutely fantastic evening. Chef Daniel made making a very tasty paella super simple. Plenty of delicious wine was served throughout the whole process along with really good tapas. We made the vegetable paella and it turned out incredible with their help. Even of you don't really cook, you can make this! They have all the ingredients portioned and prepped, you just have to add them to the pan when directed and stir. In no time you'll have a delicious paella. Plus you'll pick up some tips so you can make it home. The team was very charismatic and we learned some fun paella trivia, while enjoying great food and great company. I highly recommend it. It's made our trip to Valencia even more memorable. 10/10!

A great taste of Valencian cuisine - The tour was super interesting, learning about the history of the local area and then seeing the lively central market with all the amazing local produce! I learnt so many useful tips from the cooking class with a delicious final result and we tasted loads of different tapas with refreshing glasses of cava and wine. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Valencia!

A must-do in Valencia - This class is really fun and GREAT value for money. Daniel and Tomas were wonderful hosts. We started with Cava served with some delicious olives and almonds then moved into the kitchen to learn how to cook. While we were cooking, Tomas delivered lots of little bites to eat and wine to drink. I’m a vegetarian and they made some different bits for me. My partner doesn’t drink wine and was served local beer instead. It was an evening of generosity with excellent food, excellent wine and excellent company. I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Valencia.
