Everyone knows paellas as one of Spain's most famous dishes, but did you know their birthplace was right here, in Valencia? So, what better place to learn how to make one, with an authentic local chef as to show you how!
Busy in the evenings? See our morning Market Visit and Paella Class.
After being introduced to your master chef, the history, ingredients and importance of the Valencia paella will be explained to you. You'll be given your ingredients depending on the type of paella you have chosen to make: Traditional Valencia or Vegetarian (prices vary, see Important Info) and then, it's time to start cooking, with your chef guiding you carefully, step by step.
This is a wonderful social activity, with everyone having fun in the kitchen and learning heaps at the same time. Along with having a plenty of laughs with your chef and other students, you'll be learning some real Spanish chefs' tricks that are sure to impress next time you cook for friends at home.
When you finish your rice masterpiece, the proof is in the tasting! You and the group will sit down for a full "family" dinner, including starters, your very own paellas, desserts, drinks and, of course, some of the best local wine.
Note: A traditional Valencian paella is made with chicken and rabbit, but you can choose to cook it without the rabbit, or cook a seafood or vegetable version if you wish. All paellas are free of gluten and dairy products and don't contain any colours or preservatives.
