"Whilst on a short break to Alicante we booked this experience and were not disappointed. The host and the intern were very pleasant and knowledgeable and made the experience very easy and enjoyable. The food we prepared and then cooked was delicious along with the wine we had whilst cooking! Very enjoyable and good value for money. Thanks"

About Alicante Paella Cooking Classs
A paella cooking class in Alicante is hands-on from the start: you build the sofrito, add the stock and rice, and learn why the pan must never be stirred once the simmer starts.
You eat what you cook — and paella portions are generous. Come hungry and bring your appetite for debate about what belongs in it.
