One of the Highlights of Our Trip to Spain - After a quick tour of the market, we spent a very pleasant few hours with Claudia, eating tapas, drinking wine, making and enjoying a 3-course feast. Claudia was a great hostess, made the whole process easy and enjoyable, and made sure we had a great time. We loved this class - it was a highlight of our trip - and would absolutely recommend.

Food. Fun. Learning. - Claudia was an amazing host. She took us to the market to get an idea where to find authentic Barcelona /Catalunya food to cook, as well as explaining culture and tradition. Everything was ready for us when we got back to the apartment. There are 3 flights of stairs to climb, so keep that in mind. We all had a chance to cook and watch as we wanted to. We worked with common ingredients and dishes to the area, then had a sit down meal while learning more about the others in our group. There was some amazing paprika to purchase, but the fun of learning and cooking together with Claudia’s care and expertise, as well as her sou chef, was the highlight. Easily one of the best experiences I’ve had!!
