Follow our chef instructions to cook your own meal in a fun four-hour-long learning experience. Along the class you will talk about Spanish food, eating habits or any other topic you can bring up.
All meals are prepared in teams of two people, under the guidance of an English speaking local chef and require no previous cooking experience. If you come alone, we’ll try to find a cooking partner to pair up.
Once cooking is done, you will have time to enjoy your meal with your cooking classmates while you share travel experiences.
At the end of the class, you’ll get a recipe booklet including all the recipes made at the school, as well as a welcome gift with a premium Spanish product.

This experience exceeded my expectations by a mile. Elisa was the perfect guide. She combined her knowledge of history, culture, and food and presented information perfectly. She was incredibly organized and handled the class beautifully. What made the cooking experience even more enjoyable were the trips to the markets to choose the meat, seafood, and vegetables that were to make up our meal. We were even given the recipes we used to make our fabulous meal. I cannot recommend this experienced more highly.

I have taken both the paella class in 2023 and the tapas class this spring. We not only learned to cook the recipes, but also learned the history and place of origin of the dishes. Both times, the chefs were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was excellent and we had a lot of fun cooking and meeting people from around the world. Well worth the price!

Angel was wonderful! He did a fabulous job of explaining the cooking techniques and kept us all entertained with personal anecdotes and great tips on preparing tapas. The dishes were delicious and easy to prepare. It was very hands on, even getting to use the blow torch to carmelize the sugar on the custards. A great time was had by all. The sangria was definitely flowing which added to the festivity.

Teresa was a great host! She was so informative and related with the entire group very well. We had a wonderful time going to the market, making the sangria and gazpacho and then finally, the paella. So delicious!

This was our last “tour” in Madrid and it was the BEST! The chef was entertaining and informative. She put everyone at ease whether you were the cook in your home or not. The tapas we made were delicious. Be prepared to take leftovers home! Everything was well laid out and the 4 hours flew by. Do the tour…you won’t regret it!

We took the evening tapas class and had an amazing time. There were 12 students total and an instructor who did a great job keeping the class organized. She explained the history of each dish and guided us through making them. The students are paired up to share a cooking station, but the whole group interacts and has fun together. There was a lot of food and it was all delicious. Definitely recommend!

It was a splendid few hours spent in Madrid. I was with my girls (10 & 13). The class was in pair. My 10-year old has non-dairy diet. They have prepared different ingredients sets for her and she was very proud that she made the 7 dishes on her own! I am very thankful.
Teresa is terrific. Always attentive to everyone, teaching us how to make tapas in passion and with laughs. She also educated us from which Spain regions the ingredients come. The sangria was a blast! It was an absolutely wonderful evening we spent there!

We had a wonderful time! Teresa was so energetic and vibrant and taught us so much about Spanish cuisine. The paella turned out delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the cooking. We also left with lots of other great recs in Madrid. I would take another class with her if I had time!!

Our first time in Spain and this cooking class was amazing! Eduardo was so nice and very knowledgeable about the food, culture and how to properly prepare our dishes. We had a great group that was small and intimate which we prefer.
I loved going to the market where we picked up fresh ingredients for our class. Eduardo educated us on everything, we learned so much! What a fabulous experience…we will tell everyone about it!
