Hands-on from the first sofrito to the socarrat crust that separates good paella from great. Not a demo you watch from a stool.

 

There's a difference between eating paella and understanding why it works. This workshop is built for the second: a professional kitchen in a classic Barcelona building, not a demo counter. A local chef guides the paella, Crema Catalana, and sangría. Lunch is what you made: paella, snacks, dessert, and the drinks that came with it. For travelers who'd rather cook than watch a guide point: something for the next family holiday, or to out-cook a friend at dinner, and a story better than "we watched a chef make it.

Highlights

  • Cook, don't watch: work the seafood paella from raw sofrito to the crisp socarrat base

  • A full lunch is included: the paella you make becomes the meal, alongside Crema Catalana and traditional snacks

  • Crema Catalana taught properly: Catalonia's answer to crème brûlée, not a store-bought version

  • Set inside a classic Barcelona building, in a professional kitchen and dining room, not a rented demo space

  • Sangría mixed the way it's actually served, not poured from a jug

  • Wine, cava, beer, and soft drinks included with the meal. Nothing extra to order

  • Technique that transfers home, not a recipe card you'll lose

Included

  • Private, hands-on cooking session with a professional chef

  • Seafood paella built from a proper sofrito base, plus Crema Catalana and sangría

  • Full lunch: the meal you cooked, served at the table

  • Drinks throughout: wine, cava, beer, soft drinks, water

Not Included

  • A tip for your chef (not required, but if they earn it, they'll appreciate it)

How It Runs

The chef's job here is to get you cooking, not to put on a show. You're at the pan for the seafood paella, the Crema Catalana, and the sangría.

Arrival · The Kitchen. 

Welcomed into a professional kitchen inside a classic Barcelona building, apron on, station ready. Full address and details confirmed in your booking confirmation.

Lunch · The Dining Room. 

Sit down to the paella, snacks, and dessert you made, paired with wine, cava, beer, soft drinks, or water.
