Our chef was amazing! We started with a trip to the La Boqueria to gather fresh ingredients to make Paella as well as Spanish Tortilla, Pear Butternut Squash soup, tomato bread, and Crema Catalana. Oh and let’s not forget the wine that kept flowing. Our group was also a lot of fun too. My husband and I highly recommend this class as it was one of the highlights of our trip!

Starting with a shopping tour of Barcelonas oldest fresh market, the experience was both educational and entertaining. I could have spent HOURS (and a significant sum) in the market. There are some touristy candies at the entrance but there are farm sourced offerings as well as seafood (live) and butcher offerings, fresh vegetables, and peppers/spices. The came the kitchen introduction, fresh ingredients portioned with knife usage suggestions, safety, and local references. We prepared four courses of our own meal while being reminded, guided, and regaled. The recipes, complimentary pairings, along with seasoning and time management suggestions were invaluable.
