Kochkurs
Barcelona

The passion of Alex, Eric, and Erica have for their work comes through in spades. The class is not your normal cooking class. It is about cooking, about wine, about meeting others, about eating a great meal, and about (as Alex puts it) adding a lot of love. The experience will not disappoint. The setting is absolutely amazing. Yes, you are in a "kitchen, " but it feels like a modernized version of an ancient building. Just so perfectly done! The location in Barcelona is really easy to get to. The only thing I can say is GO! You will LOVE it!

I’m not always sure what to expect when I go into a cooking class but I must say that Alberto‘s class far exceeded my expectations. The shopping trip was informative and fun, the kitchen was well stocked and easy to learn in, Alberto was amazing (full of knowledge, kind, funny and encouraging), the food was beautifully prepared (we did a lot of the work which I really appreciate), and delicious. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to have a wonderful experience in Barcelona.

Our host/tour guide/chef was incredibly thoughtful, engaging, and fun! She taught us about the culture, the food, and how to cook authentic Catalan food. I learned so much.

My husband and my siblings and I had a great time with our Chef teacher. Food was amazing and his instructions were clear and complete. We also enjoyed the food and wine as well as meeting new people.

Awesome experience. Otger met us and took us on a private tour of 2 different local markets. One was known by tourists so he made us aware of the prices they were charging and the other was the locals market where prices were much cheaper and some better quality. We got to sample some fresh local produce, olives and olive oil. We stopped at one of the local food stops in the market where Otger ordered a couple local dishes, beer, and vermouth for us to try and treated us. After that, we headed to the amazing location of the cooking class where he explained in detail what we were doing and why. He treated us unlimited wine and champagne all while entertaining us with his great stories and amazing personality. He even went out of his way to drive us back to the port where our cruise ship was. I would highly recommend this class to anyone and everyone!

Loved every minute of it. Our Chef Alex is so welcoming and friendly. Loved all the information he shared with us. Once we started every ingredient was explained to us with so much passion. Loved every minute of it...

My partner and I had an amazing time with Frank doing our cooking class. The venue is amazing. A large, open plan living area with a huge kitchen in the centre provided a wonderful setting. Frank was an amazing host. We loved the hour we spent in the market picking up some of the ingredients and learning so much about the fresh produce of Barcelona and the culture of the city. We made 5 fantastic dishes, with plenty of leftovers for us to take home for the next day. What made it more special was how friendly Frank was as well as being an amazing teacher. It was amazing to hear about his life and we left thinking like we had known him for years. Our time at La Foodieteca put a huge smile on our faces. Although the price seems expensive it was definitely value for money as we learnt how to cook a 5 course meal and the leftovers were our lunch for the next day!

I love how the cooking class taught me a lot. It gives me opportunity to appreciate the life giving ingredients the organic, fresh and healthy. The chef was totally an expert! They were so friendly and well experienced in the kitchen. I’m not a cook so the basic instructions really helped me. I made my own paella out from scratch and the combinations of ingredients were new to me yet I was surprised that I cooked a delicious and an interesting mix of flavors kind of meal! Thank you for the cooking experience! Would love to visit again soon!

This was a classic experience! Thank you so much Josh! You are amazing! My boyfriend and i were just visiting the country and this class made it extra special. First they took us at local market and they explained local ingredients, where we could find them, how to plant them and their origin. The market was so lovely, you can see the culture through the people around and how they work at the market. After the market tour, we walked to his kitchen studio and he introduced us the background of Paella, Catalan and other famous Spanish dishes. He was very good in English though. We all had a feast afterwards. Everyone was so cool. it was definitely an experience to remember. Highly recommended!

La Boqueria is a must! The market tour is very insightful. It was an intimate experience yet provided a culture driven purpose. We went to the market and met the locals while seeing how organized and clean the surroundings were. It was a total different setting from other markets abroad. Besides the tour, it was a really good use of the time to buy fresh ingredients. The kitchen was organized that upon our arrival all the materials and tools were already laid out per student. Chef Ross did a great job of sharing the techniques in cutting, chopping, grating etc. The class was also non-cook friendly and child friendly. My daughter had a great time chopping and cooking. It was a hands on experience with wine tasting afterwards. This was a great experience! Kudos to the staff and Chef Ross! Awesome job!
