We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with chef Janelle. She was welcoming, funny, and a great teacher. We not only learned how to cook paella, Spanish tortilla, and crème Catalan, but also she taught us about culinary traditions in different regions of Spain. We also enjoyed delicious tapas as we chopped (best we had on our trip). The space right on Plaça Reial is charming, with tremendous views of the square. And our short tour to the Mercat de la Boqueria to buy clams and mussels was informative and fun. We enjoyed the evening thoroughly and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Chef broke it all down into small steps and gave us the confidence to create amazing Spanish food. Warning: Kitchen is in a n historic 3rd floor walkup, must be able to do steps!

Alfredo and James are truly fantastic! They created an environment where we truly felt like family. Alfredo welcomed us into his kitchen and took us on a culinary journey through each region of Spain. We feel so fortunate to have had this experience! Highly recommend for anyone traveling to Barcelona.
