what more is there to say than that it was an amazing experience with Juan. Thank you so much, especially for the Spanish pinches of salt. and also appreciated the Paella-OCD :-) Really learnt a lot and already planning to cook the dish at home soon.

An amazing experience - we bought some groceries with Johannes, and then we prepared pan y tomato, tortilla, pate of butter squash, paella, and crema catalana. It was very instructive and felt very welcomed and inspired! Thank you!

"Juan-tastic" experience with Barcelona Cooking. My wife and I took a paella cooking class with Chef 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 music, and white & 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.
