Best Cooking Classes in Gracia, Barcelona

Welcome to La Salsamenta, where our culinary story began in 2012 as a cooking school founded by Sara, the visionary and eldest sister of our family. Sara, an interior designer turned passionate food enthusiast, decided to embark on a new chapter, swapping construction for the world of gastronomy. Trained in various culinary schools across Barcelona. She initially offered cooking courses, and it quickly changed to offer hands-on cooking classes in Barcelona.

A Family who Loves Cooking

Driven by our family’s shared love for cooking, Clara, Sara’s sister, joined the team a few years later, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge in Yucatecan and local Mexican cuisine. La Salsamenta isn’t just a charming secret garden where we do cooking classes. It’s a place where cultures converge, and culinary traditions are shared.
