마드리드(Madrid) 요리수업

We learned to make 4 dishes and were also informed about which olive oils to use and what is considered to be real paella. A fun and tasty 4 hours.

Edward did a great class. We've done at least 6 classes in different cities and this was the best. Easy to follow, fun, not rushed, and plenty of food to enjoy. We even we're able to take home leftovers. Also plenty of sangria to drink while preparing or food. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.

Chef Fernando of Soy Chef was a true instructor and more importantly a true chef. His passion for the food and the why as well as the how of the cuisine was a strong foundation for our experience. It was interactive but also educational. Chef shared cooking tips, the right way to make paella, the history behind a Spanish meal and wonderful details on technique, from the ingredients (cuts of chicken, authentic saffron, the optimal kind of rice) to seasoning the paella pan. We learned slicing techniques with the knife, uses of the olive oil, what a pinch of salt really looks like, and how oil can be used both to boil and fry. We made chicken and vegetable paella, Spanish omelette, Malaga salad with cod, and a poached apple dessert. We learned how to make Sangria. All was delicious and we even got a discount at the local market for saffron and pimenton to take home. It was a perfect experience - and it was very reasonable. Based in the Mercado you were able to get a tour of the various merchants and the sights and smells of the marketplace. Simply unforgettable!

Thanks to Laura and Angel for a wonderful cooking experience. We went there with a group of 21 work colleagues as a networking event and everybody had so much fun and enjoyed the class. Laura and Angel were very knowledgeable and entertaining, and some of our colleagues got into a Paella-competition, so much fun! Muchas gracias!!!!!!!!!!!

This class was SO WORTH IT! Lilly did a great job, and her english was impeccable. We made A TON of food, and got to enjoy eating it too! The Sangria was delicious and we learned so much about Spain, Spanish food, and cooking in general. I would definitely do this again, and honestly I want to do one of these in like every city now. It was such a cool way to spend an evening. And we got to meet new friends!

My wife took this class. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Went to a local market for tips on buying seafood, olives, olive oil, chicken and produce. Then back to the kitchen to prepare sangria, gazpacho, and paella. Enjoyed interacting with the chief and and other students in the class. Given recipes to take home. Many helpful tips, together with the history and culture of the dishes. Chief has great English as well as local knowledge.

The class was really awesome! The tapas were tasty and not so hard to make and the ingredients were prepared in an efficient way! Our chef was nice and friendly, and a great cook clearly :) Made for a great Christmas break experience for me and my friend.
