Fun class but never received recipes. Is it possible to have them sent? Assumed paella would have more ingredients than chicken thighs. Disappointing as prawns were in pictures

This was absolutely the best thing to do if you like/ love/ have to cook! Antonio is hilarious and very engaged! I learned some tricks and am looking forward to reseasoning my paella pans and making gazpacho from our cucumbers. I might make everything just bc it was so good and SO professionally instructed. Our group of 11 was fun!
The chef and food were great. However, my group of 3 did absolutely bare minimum of cooking. The chef overlooked us for nearly the first 1hr; he frequently gave the other groups cooking tasks while we just watched on with literally nothing to do. Also, the unlimited wine only starts an hour in (I get it some safety concerns) however that should be better indicated.
The class was a lot of fun. We enjoyed cooking with the host in addition to the other attendees of the class. My only issue would be with the wine. Its advertised as "bottomless" wine, but, I think we were only really offered wine once which was then put away. We had to keep asking if we wanted refills.
Everything about this class was fun, educational and delicious. Antonio, who was our chef and host for the night, was absolutely marvelous. He explained everything we were doing and couldn’t do enough for us. When we were finished, our meal was absolutely superb. Highly recommend this.
Antonio was a great chef and made our time so fun! We enjoyed learning all about the cuisine in Barcelona and then actively participating in making dinner and dessert. It was a great group of people who were all friendly. We really enjoyed this experience!!
This was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Barcelona, whether you like to cook or not. We had a wonderful evening learning how to make authentic dishes, enjoyed getting to know our small group (truly special) and our instructor Juan was both informative and fun to work with. He was Juan-derful :) Best was getting to sit down together and share in the meal that we had all helped to prepare.
The address is 58, not 58 58. We got lost the 1st attempt, but made it back our second time around. The chef was very helpful and knowledgeable.
This was hands-down the Juan and only cooking class to take in Barcelona! Chef Juan was funny, welcoming, and an incredible teacher. We loved making gazpacho, pan con tomate, Spanish omelet, seafood paella, and the most delicious crema Catalana. No Juan-der this class is so highly rated. We’d recommend it to everyone visiting Barcelona!
We were 6 people and we cooked paella, Spanish crème brûlée, Spanish tortilla, Gazpacho and Pan con tomate. We hadn’t met with the people before however it still felt like having a dinner with family. Juan was very funny and friendly from the beginning and the other 2 couples were nice also. We were very lucky. If I would describe the night in one word, it would be JUANderful.😌
This was a wonderful experience! Our chef, Yohannes, had a way to make us all feeel like professional cooks. And the food was delicious. I highly recommend this experience. You will not be disappointed.
Absolutely amazing! Yohannes was fabulous! We had such a good time!
Amazing experience! Our chef, Johanas, was so talented and personable. Highly recommend this class! The paella was amazing!
A wonderful evening with Juan! He is an amazing chef, teacher, and host. He made everyone feel welcome and we had a great time! This is a must when in Barcelona!
We had so much fun with Juan….he’s quite a character! The food was super yummy, we leaned how to make it all and had a great time doing it. We don’t drink alcohol and Juan accommodated that well without making us feel foolish for not drinking (which happens sometimes). Definitely recommend!
It’s a must do when visiting Barcelona. Hospitality and charm! You will leave happy, educated and charmed! The recipes will be cherished after we leave with memories to accompany!
We were fortunate to have a private experience learning to cook paella (and other delicious dishes) with Yohannes. He was a delight and we had a fun time learning about Spanish cuisine as well as his path as a chef in Barcelona. We would highly recommend this class and would definitely do this again on our next trip!
Johannes was great! One of the best cooking classes I’ve done. Learned a lot and definitely things that I’m going to try back home.
Yohannes was amazing!! We had the best time. Food was delicious. I highly recommend this class.
Extremely high-quality customer service, excellent food, and great vibes. Yohannes is especially excellent. Highly recommend.
We were lucky enough to have the cooking class to ourselves. Our chef was Yohannes and he was so attentive, engaging and friendly. We highly recommend this class, especially those wanting to experience traditional Spanish foods
This was the highlight of our time in Barcelona. An exceptional experience, and we learned so much. Candido shared his culture with us, and we felt very comfortable working with him. We made several dishes including chicken paella. We highly recommend Barcelona Cooking.
Very good experience. We had a small group of 6 people in this class. 3 couples. One from California, one from Texas and us from Kentucky. It was a great evening. Johan was very good in shoeing us how to make a 4 course meal.
Great stuff, so so fun! Juan made the class great. We had so so much fun and the paella was delicious, the tortilla was amazing, and the vibes were great the whole time. Lovely memories!
Memorable experience. Our chef was delightful and the food was delicious. Truly a unique experience. Learned some tips and tricks in the kitchen that will carry with us forever.
“Juan-tastic” experience with Barcelona Cooking. My wife and I took a paella cooking class with Juan at Barcelona cooking. He is a Juan-derful person, professional chef, excellent humor, and a phenomenal instructor. All of the ingredients for our meal were fresh and laid out in front of the stations we cooked. We made a gorgeous butternut squash soup, Spanish tortilla, tomato & olive oil bread, chicken paella, and crema de Catalan! Everything was amazing, including the white and red wine that flowed unlimited. The best meal we’ve ever had in our lives (and my wife is a professional baker). The night was very special and Juan was fantastic, a new lifelong friend. A night and meal we will never forget. We highly recommend Barcelona Cooking for anyone looking for a memorable evening in Barcelona. It was a great way to experience the culture of this city. We will do this again on our next visit to Barcelona.
Chef Juan’s passion for cooking and life takes this experience to the next level. In addition to being a kind and entertaining teacher he is a genuinely warm hearted person. My family and I enjoyed working together to create a wonderful meal and memories. A truly enriching experience!
One of the highlights of our trip. Juan was a a terrific chef. both knowledgeable and personable. The dinner was outstanding. We can not rave enough about Chef Juan.
This was such a fun experience! We aren’t technical cooks and they made it very easy for us. It was a small group (2 couples) and Yohannes was very interactive and great. Will recommend!
We had a great experience cooking an interactive 4 course meal. The chef walked us through prep, knife skills and finishing. The chef is passionate about food. Great food, good fun and Wine! A must do.
The experience was perfect, the food was delicious and chef was wonderful!! We enjoyed this class very much!!
Our family had a great time at Barcelona Cooking school! The recipes were delicious and easy to follow, and we have already made some of them at home. The class was very enjoyable and our Chef was lovely and helped us all get to know each other and interact. I would recommend this experience to anyone in Barcelona. As a family with a younger kid, this experience also helped introduce him to new foods that he then ate out and about on our travels.
Bought this cooking class as a birthday gift for my friend and we both had so much fun and such a great time. Juan was absolutely lovely and great fun. Would definitely recommend!
This was the best activity to add to our Barcelona vacation!!! We made a 4 course dinner which were all delicious and my entire family loved it so much, they rated the dinner the best out of our entire European vacation! Highly recommend!!
Juan was our chef / leader and he was amazing!! We learned so much about the Spanish culture of cooking and how to make several Spanish dishes authentically. We toured the market as Juan purchased key ingredients we used for the dishes we cooked. I only wish there were more stars to give- this experience was 10/10!
Excellent evening. We went with our children (ages 12 and 14) and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Juan was a fantastic host / chef / entertainer and the food we all cooked together was delicious (shout out to the families from Massachusetts too!). Great food, company and free flowing wine - what's not to like!
Fabulous time. Excellent food. Did this on my birthday with my wife and I'd do it again. Now, hope we can do it justice when we get home. JEG
This was great! So relaxed, friendly, and informative. Kitchen aprons are provided so you don't have to worry about getting dirty. This was more like family/ friends getting together to learn new cooking skills.
We had an amazing time in this cooking class with Candi! We learned a ton and will definitely be making these dishes at home. Had fun socializing with other people in our small group as well. Candi was great at engaging the kids and giving them some independence which they LOVED! Highly recommend!
Highly recommend doing this cooking class. Chef was very accommodating and kept our group together in same class. Would advise if have people who prefer non seafood to include that request in booking
fantastic evening of cooking, laughing, drinking and being guided by a chef...highly recommend this for everyone to experience.
awesome time! great experience of cooking and being guided by a chef who was a blast to be around...left with a very full stomach...fantastic!!!!
Had a great experience and learned some cooking tips. Highly recommend! Juan was a really good instructor and we had a great time.
I had the absolute pleasure of taking a paella cooking class in Barcelona with Juan, and he was truly the heart and soul of the experience. From the moment we walked in, his energy was infectious—he made everyone feel instantly welcome and excited to learn. Juan is not only incredibly knowledgeable about Spanish cuisine, but he’s also a natural entertainer with a warm, genuine personality that made the class unforgettable. He had us laughing, learning, and fully immersed in the process from start to finish. It felt less like a class and more like cooking with a lifelong friend. If you're in Barcelona, this is a must-do—and Juan is the Juan and only teacher you need!
This class was awesome. Sonia was an instructor. She gave clear directions and made the class fun and enjoyable. During this class we made Gazpacho, Pan con tomate, tortilla de patatas, paella, crema Catalan. Everything was delicious.This class was a nice addition to our last night in Barcelona. I would highly recommend. Book a class with Sonia.
Cannot say enough good things about this class! We got a local tour of the market, which was amazing! Once back to the kitchen we went to work! Made the most delicious and simple recipes. I can’t wait to get home and serve up paella to friends and family! Our instructor was top notch! Knowledgeable, hands on and oh so sweet! Thank you for the fun and memorable day!
Absolutely wonderful. Only 4 people si very intimate. It felt like family cooking for the Holidays. Juan is an excellent chef and teacher and his humor was very much appreciated. Everything we cooked tasted wonderful.
Instructor is VERY knowledgeable and happy to share. My husband is a serious cook and he learned a lot. I don’t cook, but still had a wonderful time and the food we prepared tasted great.
My daughter and I attended Chef Juan's Spanish cooking class in Barcelona and it was truly the highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, Chef Juan made us feel incredibly welcome. He created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere that made the entire evening both educational and entertaining. What impressed us most was how thoughtfully he accommodated my daughters dietary restrictions. Every dish we prepared was entirely gluten-free, yet we didn’t feel like we were missing out on a thing—each recipe was rich with authentic Spanish flavor and tradition. We learned to make several delicious dishes (including the best paella we’ve ever had!), all while sharing laughs with other guests and enjoying great conversation. Chef Juan’s passion for Spanish cuisine and his attention to detail really made this experience stand out. We left full, happy, and with memories we'll cherish forever. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Barcelona—don’t miss this experience!
We wanted a cooking class that didn’t involve a trip to the market. It was a group setting which was easily mixed and comfortable
