Paella Cooking Class

Itinerary

Meet in the city centre of Valencia to begin an unforgettable cooking class divided into three parts:

Mercado Central guided tour

After meeting at the cooking school, stroll to the Central Market of Valencia (Mercado Central) to learn about its history and architecture. This beautiful modernist building was built at the beginning of the twentieth century and is an example of quality in Valencia. Explore its stands, which offer the best products from Valencia’s countryside, and purchase all the necessary ingredients to make authentic Valencian paella.

NB: With the 6 pm tour it is not possible to visit the market.

Cooking class

Once you’re in the cooking school, you’ll be handed your apron and chef hat. Your expert chef will explain how the paella was invented and how it has become one of the most significant symbols of Spanish cuisine.

Then, learn all the steps of a perfect paella and learn its traditional recipe. You will be taught how to cut the vegetables in the right way, making the meat and adding the rice. When the stock begins to boil, you will be offered an aperitif consisting of tomato with olive oil from Valencia, accompanied by typical Valencian wine or artisanal beer.

Valencian lunch

When the paella is ready, it’s time to eat!

Begin lunch with a salad and next you will try your delicious paella. The meal also includes a drink, dessert and coffee.

At the end, you will be handed a diploma as experts in authentic Valencian paellas.
