Sweetest, funniest, tastiest paella class you could ever attend! - Jordi is absolutely incredible. I was expecting a touristic paella class but it turned out to be a full experience head to toe, feeling like becoming part of a family. From the market, where we bought THE TASTIEST VEGGIES I HAVE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE!! (I literally cried once i tasted the artichokes) We learned a couple of words in valencian, which is very sweet to bring with you out of this experience. We then were hosted in Jordi's cute apartment, with his little sweet dog greeting us (❤️). All the anecdotes, sangrias, laughter, made us forget we were in a room with complete strangers, it felt like a sunday morning with family. We all cooked together, as a traditional valencian family, we danced, we sang and Jordi shared with us the story of his family which was a very touching moment (probably all the sangria in my body helped making me a bit emotional 🤪). I couldn't stop telling everyone about this incredible few hours, it made the whole holiday. Thank you Jordi!

Becoming a Paella Warrior - My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful time with Jordi and the other guests, learnng about Valencian traditions, shopping for the ingredients in the Ruzaffa market, as well as learning the subtleties and secrets of the various dishes that were prepared. The intimacy of the small group (5 guests plus Jordi) added to the pleasure of the experience. The tapas, the sangria, the paella and the dessert were all spectacular. Especially the PAELLA!!! Olè Jordi!!

What a great guy! - Jordi was a great host! We enjoyed it a lot. He was funny and humble. We learned a lot about Paella, Valencia and Sangria! The recipe we got at the end is super in depth and we will try it out very soon! A great few hours we can recommend for every stay in Valencia!

Fantastic cooking experience - You shouldn't come by car. It would be a shame if you can't taste the great drinks. In addition to some tapas as a starter, all together prepare a traditional paella. There's sangria for that. Finally, a delicious dessert.

An authentic and pleasant experience - We had a great afternoon with Jordi. Its activity is well organized, its welcome is warm and the paella is succulent! We really liked his desire to share with us the Valencian culture, his language, his customs. He was also attentive to everyone and very generous in portions. We had a lot of fun. Thank you!

The best Valèncian experience! - Jordí is amazing!! He is a great guide, and teacher and didn’t just show you how to make paella but really tried to give you a Valèncian Afternoon! The food was fantastic and you get plenty hands on with it yourself! An unforgettable experience! Can’t say enough good things about it.

Book this experience! - Book this now! Jordi is so likable and knowledgeable and we made the BEST paella with his guidance. We met right near the market, picked up the freshest ingredients, then went to Jordi’s kitchen for sangria, tapas, music and an all around excellent experience. We were a “private” group of 4 and we felt like we were hanging out with a friend. Best Airbnb experience I’ve had ever!

Paella with Jordi - Our Paella cooking experience with Jordi was amazing!! He met us at the Mercado de Ruzafa where we shopped for ingredients and met some of his favorite vendors. From there, we took a short walk through the Ruzafa neighborhood to his home. We made a yummy sangria and several delicious tapas before getting started on the paella. Jordi is a prized paella chef who spent the time telling us about the history of the dish making us feel welcome and part of his family experience in his kitchen. His connection with his clients is really important and it really made the time wonderful. The main event of making paella remained the highlight and was so much fun! The paella was the best traditional paella I’ve had to date, and I’ve eaten it a lot 😉! I highly recommend this experience while in Valencia and doing it with Jordi made it even better. Small intimate group focus makes this a 💯
