Paella and Tapas: Madrid Cooking Class with Market Visit

Danny took us to the local market to buy some ingredients and explained the different types of ham. We all helped out with cooking potatoes, croquettes and paella. The open kitchen space is beautiful and the food was wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Tapas and Paella cooking and eating experience with Danny. We visited a local market and learned about the origins of essential ingredients in Spanish menus. Our “school room” was beautifully set up and we all had the opportunity to assist as each dish was prepared. We made several tapas plates then the crowning glory, a traditional paella. Chef Danny had so much information about techniques and traditions. Loved it all and I would highly recommend!

Daniel’s excitement & passion for this class exceeded my expectation! I really enjoyed the inclusiveness with our participation with our authentic foodie experience! Muchas gracias! Janet M

My bf and I chose this tour for the trip to the market as we wanted the authentic experience! Daniel was an amazing chef! We both love to cook, and spending the time with him and his knowledge in a beautiful kitchen was such a special experience!

My girlfriend and I had the best experience with this cooking class. Our instructor was Danny and he could not have been better. It was a great cultural experience with the market visit and his depth knowledge as a chef was unsurpassed. I learned some new cooking techniques and we made the best authentic paella. Highly recommend!

Daniel was entertaining, professional and knowledgeable! Couldn’t ask for more! Food and fun! And lovely paired wine!
