 Verified Tasty Tapas My daughters and I did the Tapas Workshop. Antonio did a fabulous job involving my daughters and we had a great time cooking together. He provided clear instructions and many helpful tips. What we learned during this workshop will stay with us and make us better in our daily cooking. And the result? The tapas we cooked tasted great! Wonderful and fun experience for anyone that enjoys cooking and eating!

 Verified Tasty Experience My daughters and I took part in the Spanish Tapas Workshop. Antonio did a great job teaching us how to cook the 5 tapa dishes. He involved my teenage daughters in the entire process and we all had a great time cooking. During the workshop Antonio gave many great tips and clear instructions. What we learned will stay with us and can be applied in our day to day cooking. And the end result? The tapas we cooked together were delicious! A wonderful experience!

 Verified A fun thing to do together! My daughter (17) and I (53) had a fantastic morning with our amazing chef Antonio. There were no other participants that day, so we had Antonio all to ourselves and were able to ask him a million questions, and he answered and explained everything that we wanted to know. He even gave us restaurant tips and tips to barcelona’s best markets. It was a great experience, from the visit to Boqueria market to the preparation of the various dishes to finally eating and enjoying it all. And this was such a lovely thing for us to do together. Will definitely try to make it all again when we get home!! PS! Come hungry!

 Verified Family Cooking Class We loved our cooking class! We had a large family (16 people) of various ages and had a blast. The food was delicious and a great representative of typical Spanish cuisine. The kids (3 to 18 years old) all loved the experience and walked away with a love for cooking. We also loved our journey to the market!!!!

 Verified We love food ! And we loved the things we learned Absolutely — here is a polished 90-word version: We absolutely loved this Barcelona cooking class. As people who love food and love to learn, it was the perfect experience for us. The class was warm, welcoming, and hands-on, with just the right balance of cooking, culture, and fun. We learned so much about the ingredients, techniques, and traditions behind the dishes, while also enjoying a relaxed and memorable evening. It felt personal, authentic, and delicious from start to finish. We would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Barcelona.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you've ever wondered whether you can laugh your way through making paella... the answer is yes! 🥘😂 My sister-in-law and I had an absolute blast learning to cook with Chef Antonio. He was personable, engaging, hilarious and an incredible chef. He even made it easy to create both a vegetarian and a seafood paella. Along the way, we mastered tomato bread, citrus-marinated mussels and a delicious custard for dessert. We left with full stomachs, new cooking skills and plenty of stories to tell. Hands down one of the most fun experiences of our trip. If you're visiting the area, put a cooking class on your itinerary—you'll make memories that last much longer than the meal! (And we also enjoyed sangria and a glass of Spanish wine.)
