Spanish Cooking Class on La Rambla

About

This is a dynamic, participative and fun Mediterranean cooking class, guided by professional chef.

We'll meet at a private home of a professional chef for a comprehensive, hands-on cooking class. Learn a variety of traditional Spanish recipes for dishes such as paella, patatas bravas, and several kinds of tapas. Taste as you go along and listen to the chef explain how to use important regional ingredients such as olive oil, tomatoes, and herbs.

Before starting the cooking class, you will have the chance to try ten tapas from different cities in Spain, and the chef will give a brief explanation of the origins of each ones.

We will start the cooking class where you will learn how to make seafood Paella, Spanish omelette and Catalan cream.

You will then be invited to our private lounge for a tasting menu of our cuisine accompanied by the finest wines, all served by waiters.

It is an open workshop, it means that can attend up to 10 participants. Here lies its charm and a chance to meet interesting people.
