Description
This paella cooking class in Barcelona, in a rooftop kitchen, is hands-on from the first drink. You arrive at a welcoming rooftop kitchen, meet your local host and the other guests, and start by mixing homemade sangria together, learning how fruit, wine and flavours are balanced.
Drink in hand, you hear the host explain where paella comes from, how it varies by region and which ingredients an authentic one needs. Then the cooking begins, and it is a real class, not a demonstration. In a small group you cook a classic seafood paella from the first step: the sofrito, the stock and the way of cooking the rice that decides the result. The host shares practical tips along the way, and while the rice simmers you can keep sipping sangria or vermouth and chat.
Once the rice is done, the group gathers at the table to eat the result. You leave with the recipes, so the dish can be repeated at home.
- Seafood paella, with bread, olives and a tomato salad
- Fresh fruit to finish
- Sangria, vermouth and water
- An apron and the recipe
The class lasts about two and a half hours, in English or Spanish, and works for couples, families, solo travellers and anyone who loves food. Hotel transfers are not included.
