A paella cooking class in Valencia 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.

"Really enjoyed this paella class! Daniel and Cain were so welcoming and made sure the whole group felt comfortable and had a great time. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, the class was easy to follow, and I learned a lot about making authentic paella. Such a fun experience, and the paella was delicious. We also had a yummy dessert!

"What a fantastic morning learning how to cook paella properly! Daniel our host was really friendly and informative. From walking around the market to talking about his hometown of Valencia. Then onto the class itself - it was so good! Lots of little canapés and wine served by Luna to enjoy during the class, lots of top tips on how to cook a great paella and a good way to meet fellow paella enthusiasts! Would highly recommend!"
