    I had such a great time at this class. The atmosphere was relaxed but still felt like we were learning something valuable. The instructor broke down the paella-making process step by step and explained not just how to do each part, but why. From layering flavors to getting that perfect socarrat at the bottom of the pan, everything was easy to follow. It was a hands-on experience, so everyone got involved in chopping, stirring, and seasoning. The BYOB element made it even more fun since pairing a good Spanish wine with our cooking felt like being at a lively dinner party. By the end of the night, the kitchen smelled incredible. When we finally sat down to eat, the paella tasted even better than I had hoped. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Whether you are a total beginner or a confident home cook looking to sharpen your skills, I would recommend this class. It strikes the perfect balance between education, fun, and great food.

    There was such a fun freedom in being guided in these classes to make food we normally wouldn’t make for ourselves! It also encouraged us to socialize with another couple, which we hadn’t expected but enjoyed! We only wish there was a little more time to enjoy ourselves, as the end was a bit of a “hurry up, thank you, bye” feeling. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to shake up their date nights.
  • Spanish Paella (BYOB)

    I loved the space and the atmosphere. We had a great time but the class was too short for the amount of cooking. I’d recommend to add 30 minutes to the class duration. Chef Vincenzo was great with the explanations and very helpful. I really like him. About the recipes: The Quesada was great, easy to make a full of flavor with great taste. The paella and croquetas recipes need some adjustments to resemble a real Spanish versions: I recommend to use a “fumet de pescado”or chicken broth for the paella to add flavor because it was pretty bland and it would help to cook it in a real paella pan. Don’t get me started with the croquetas: I think that, because you can’t fry them there, you made adjustments to the recipe - the panko breadcrumbs is a great idea for cooking in the oven- but 1) that bechamel needed way more milk and some onion; 2)definitely less chorizo that make them really greasy; 3) the manchego is a great idea when you’re not using enough milk to make them “juicy” but, with that big amount of chorizo, the result is too filling and not smooth. I’d recommend to use ham, chicken, spinach-goat cheese, or cod instead. We had a great time with the couple that we cook with but, for me, being a Spaniard from La Mancha wanting to introduce my friend to cooking Spanish food, the recipes weren’t authentic enough. I hope this helps.

    My friends and I did the Spanish Paella class and it was so much fun!! The staff is super friendly, they walk you through everything and then you cook it at your table. There is PLENTY of food, plus who doesn't love to cook when you don't have to clean up?! It was BYOB so that was great too, good wine, great friends, and even more amazing food. I love that they send you the recipes you made in class- I was able to create the croquettes many times at home- they are my favorite and would have never attempted to make them without this class. I can't wait to try more classes!
