The tour of the market and the cooking class were terrific! And the kitchen was very well equipped for the class. Lots of great tips, the explanations of the differences between Spanish dishes and similar dishes from other regions were very informative. And the food was delicious! Would definitely do a cooking class with the Barcelona Cooking School again.

What a fun night! Juan was our chef and he was friendly, funny, knowledgeable and patient! We were there with another family and several exchange students. We made a delicious meal and everyone contributed. He explained everything we were doing, gave everyone a job and kept everyone laughing during the 3-hour "class." Don't miss Barcelona Cooking if you are planning ANY time in Barcelona!

We did the Tapas cooking class with a trip to the market. Juan was an amazing instructor and the class was a ton of fun! The food was amazing - I will definitely be making the meatballs, the aioli, and the potatas bravas again. Everything was so delicious.

Wonderful experience of Barcelona’s Las Rambla market and authentic food preparation. The “Fabulous Juan” was our chef and tour guide who is not only a talented chef but a charismatic, knowledgeable, and engaging guide. We began the day with a tour of the historic market picking up some ingredients to be used in the dishes. Then a short walk back in the kitchen, with the guidance of Juan, we were each given a task to take part in the preparation of a fabulous 4 course meal. We made friends, drank wine and got to have hands on experience of authentic freshly prepared meals. Highly recommend making this a priority activity even if only spending a couple days in Barcelona.

I really didn’t want to work/cook while on vacation, but I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. There were a total of 5 of us to share in the meal preparation. In addition to the paella, we made 4 other dishes and everything was delicious. The flow was easy and relaxing. Red and white wines were also available. There was plenty of food and no one left feeling hungry. We tried paella at a few other restaurants, but this one was the best.

Class was excellent! Went with teenage daughters and we all had a wonderful time — and our cooking skills range from pretty sophisticated to quite unskilled. Chef Juan created a great atmosphere and was knowledgeable, skilled, funny, fun. Quality of food was very good. Nice facility. A great addition to our trip!

My family had an amazing experience with Juan and our fellow participants. We picked Barcelona Cooking after reading reviews about other classes because we wanted a very hands on experience. I’m the only cook in the family and it was great to see that each of us really contributed to the meal along with the rest of the group. We made tomato bread, gazpacho, a Spanish omelette, paella and Catalan creme. Regardless of experience in the kitchen we all learned something. We laughed, we drank, we sang and had a delicious meal.

Juan is a knowledgeable, fun and talented host & cooking teacher! He gave us the inside scoop on the vibrant La Boqueria market and its amazing history during our visit. He also shared excellent tips on cooking the many delicious Spanish/Catalan dishes we made and enjoyed eating. My husband and I had a great time and I highly recommend this class!

The instructor was so fun, communicative, and friendly.
The walk to the market was informative on Barcelona, the market and the vendors.
The menu, was based on current fruits and meats of the day in the Market. (The fish part of the market is closed on Monday)
The instruction was fun and we learned what the tricks are in a recipe like Paella was.

This business is simply fabulous in so many ways. They truly tailor the experience to their guests abilities and interest. The space is large, well lit and they make prep fun! Try for a class that includes a visit to the huge public market, (been there for over 200 years and quite colorful.) This is really a terrific event for families and the food is delicious!
