    The class was very detailed and provided great insight into the ingredients and tools needed to make paella successfully. Chef Jerry is very informative and his class is very interactive and engaging.

    The instructor was wonderful. The ingredients were most canned and or frozen. Hoped to see more fresh ingredients and not pre-packaged seasoning.

    Jerry was very nice, very welcoming, made a very nice environment and was entertaining (kept the mood up and happy). The class flowed smoothly. A bit more attention to detail like the recipe handout was missing baking temp and time as well as Sofrito ingredient. Home made Sofrito would have been a nice touch and the recipe for it would have given the history lesson a nice twist. Overall nice time.

    I'm only giving it 3 stars because it's not a real cooking school; it's a makeshift kitchen in a hotel lounge. There were 20 students and we broke up into 4 groups to cook after the demonstration. Since there were so many members to each team, each person could only do one thing (such as slice a pepper or sausages). In spite of that, it was an enjoyable afternoon and the instructor, Jerry, is super nice. The paella was very tasty and the other members of our team were also very nice.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students enjoyed classes at Spanish Paella Party and found it a fun and comfortable experience. They learned to make paella, using knives, preparing ingredients, and understanding the historical context of the dish. Some students appreciated the hands-on approach. Several students praised the instructors, Jerry and Chef Eliott, for their passion, knowledge, and teaching skills. Quotes: 1. "This class was well organized, informative, and engaging. I've taken a number of cooking classes and I found Chef Elliot's approach to cooking quite refreshing, focusing on the end result being a delightful meal rather than a perfectly executed recipe." 2. "I learned great basic skills in knife use and now feel confident to cook Paella at home.. Easy to understand and follow, comfortable environment to ask questions. GREAT experience. 5 STARS~!" 3. "Chef Eliott was enthusiastic and engaging. His cooking methods were simple and we were all able to create a very delicious meal."

Question from Emily H.
Do you eat the paella at the end of the class and/or take it with you? Is it a meal-sized portion for each person? I'll be in the city all day with my mom and need to know if we should make any lunch arrangements or if this will cover it :)
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! Students get to eat what they cook or make at the end of the class. They will be working in groups so each group would have enough servings for 2-3 people. Hope this helps!

Question from Anonymous
Would it be possible to make a non-meat version? (Seafood is fine)
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hello there! You will work with other students in a group of four in the paella class. So if the student comes alone or in a group less than 4, it is hard to adjust the recipe. Hope this helps!
