First of all: THIS PAELLA TASTES DELICIOUS! A HECK OF A RECIPE! I went solo and it was a beautiful experience! I am a Costa Rican who loves to cook, my dad cooks delicious paella and it is a tradition in my family since I am a little kid. I wanted to do something different in Madrid while my wife attends a Conference at IFEMA, so I started searching and found some Paella Cooking clases...but there was something of this class that called my attention: 1. Allow solo visitors 2. Families of all ages allowed 3. Great reviews from previous attendees I arrived 10 mins before as I always do everyone, and Teresa opened the door for me, she was still accomodating some stuff so I helped her. I was a little bit worried of who might partnered with me, but I love to meet people so I was also excited. We were three families, Teresa and myself. I partnered with a 12 y/o pro chez! She was as passionate for food and cooking as I was. This was a total unexpected experience I will remember my whole life! Before you start cooking, you go to Mercado Anton, a real market in Madrid that if you love cooking like me, you will simply love it to see all the fresh seafood, jamones, produce, small restaurants, etc. I love to eat and cook, and I am real good cooker so some of the things you might find basic, but these guys are more than a class, they offer you a whole experience, and that is priceless. Visiting solo or with your kids, friends, with pro cooks or someone who just wants to learn how to do a REAL GOOD paella, please do not hesitate and do it. ¡Pura vida!

Esta clase fue una excelente experiencia. Desde el momento en que comienza visitando el mercado para comprar los ingredientes frescos... hasta la culminación de la preparación de la Paella.... es una experiencia divertida y de mucho aprendizaje. Aquí se entiende bien lo que es la verdadera Paella y el maestro ANGEL lo hace de una manera sumamente entretenida.

What a brilliant concept! Learn how to cook traditional Spanish tapas then sit down as a group and enjoy them together. The work that goes into preparing everything for this evening and presenting to us is clear to see, the rewards are a very successful class for everyone. The menu was excellent and when we get home there is no doubt we will try out a few. Everything from sangria to Crema Catalans. We would really recommend this to everyone, it was so much fun. We really didn’t know what to expect, but this surpassed all our expectations.

This cooking class was great!! It was 4 of us and 11 in total. Everything was very organized. We cooked everything ourselves! The only thing the teacher did for us was to fry the potatoes & make cameralized onions. We literally spent 3 hours making 5 tapas, 1 dessert and sangria and then spent the last hr eating the feast we made! Highly recommend! Lots of fun!

Great experience. Learned a lot about the food sources and food culture of Spain. Visited the nearby markets to tap into how the residents of Madrid do some of their grocery shopping. Paired with three other groups that added to the fun and accomplishment of the day. Angel did a great job keeping everyone engaged and accommodated special requests and dietary restrictions. And, even a small Sangria spill to start the day.
