It is definitely worth it and we would go back if we return to Barcelona. Sherrie Griffin2024-12-07 This experience is a must-do in Barcelona. The paella making class that we attended was twelve people and together we made two different kinds of paella- one classic with chicken and vegetables and the other a seafood. So delicious! Clara and Claudia are wonderful hosts and they do such a fabulous job of sharing the culture and the techniques. Arrive hungry! You will leave with a full stomach and new friends! Cecilia M2024-12-06 I absolutely love this place! We had a wonderful time learning how to cook paella. Sara was an excellent host, teaching us not only how to prepare the dish but also sharing the history of paella and Spanish cuisine. It's a gem in Barcelona that you can’t miss! Michael Barondes2024-12-05 Very fun paella cooking class. There was a group of 7 people hosted by Sarah in a beautiful backyard adjacent to Sarah's family home! The outdoor space was peaceful. The ingredients had already been prepped prior to our arrival. The group cooked a seafood paella and a meat paella concurrently (under Sarah's guidance) while enjoying a glass of wine. We then enjoyed a delicious paella feast! Highly recommend! Gabriella N. Alves2024-11-15 It was a super fun experience. Sara told us about the origin of the dish and details that only a true Catalan would know. The food tasted amazing at the end, and they also offered us wine and some traditional tapas, like tortilla de patatas and pa amb tomàquet. João Simões2024-11-14 Sara is AMAZING. The service, the food, the vibe.. 10's across the board Judit Vincze2024-11-02 We had a fantastic day in Sara's beautiful garden setting! We learned a lot about Spanish food, ingredients and of course paella. You could do as much cooking as you wanted, participate, chat or just sit around with a lovely glass of wine. The tapas and our own creations were really tasty. We celebrated a birthday there and Sara didn't forget to improvise a tiny birthday cake either! The whole family including a child enjoyed this experience! I highly recommend it!
