Excellent teachers and paella, cheerful environment - Me and my husband had a wonderful and joyful experience with My First Paella! Ana and Cristina have been happy guides and skilled teachers that revealed us the secrets of excellent paella and sangria! It was interesting also to learn the context of both, the history behind the dish itself. The paella in the end was not just very tasty, it was the best we've had in Valencia! I definitely recommend this experience! Gracias Ana y Cristina, by "Miranda" (Luana ;) )

Paella cooking lesson in Valencia - Very nice cooking experience. The 2 teachers have been very good, caring and joyful. The paella at the end was exquisite. Also the sangria and several other beverage and food we've been given were really tasty (wine,shots,tapas,cake..). Good experience also for meeting new people in a friendly context and nice atmosphere.

Passt schon. Better really isn’t possible. - “Passt schon” – as we say in Bavaria, meaning it doesn’t get any better than this. And that perfectly describes my experience at the Paella school in Valencia. From the warm welcome to the final bite, everything was absolutely spot on. The instructors were passionate, knowledgeable, and made the whole process both fun and easy to follow. Learning about the history of paella, selecting fresh ingredients, and cooking together in such a relaxed atmosphere was a real highlight. The result? An authentic, delicious paella that tasted even better because we made it ourselves. This experience was not just a cooking class, but a true taste of Valencian culture. Highly recommended for anyone who wants more than just a meal — this is a memory you take home with you.
