What You'll Do

Immerse yourself in the social side of cooking with a traditional dish from Valenica, Spain.

In this cooking class with Chef Mary Ann, prepare paella, a traditional dish that hails from the coasts of Valencia, as well as other iconic staples from Spain’s southeastern region to create a menu of Mediterranean flare.

Begin by assembling an artisan greens salad with marcona almonds and manchego cheese lightly dressed in sherry vinaigrette. Next, create a simple soffritto recipe to act as the essential flavor base for your paella before adding bomba rice, tender chicken thighs and peppers. For desert, drizzle dulce de leche over of bizocho cake.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Chef Mary Ann came to our house and cooked an amazing French dinner for our guests for my husband's birthday - it was a treat to have a delicious, chef-level meal provided in our home vs. going out to dinner. Chef Mary Ann was very helpful in connecting before our event to make sure she answered any questions we had about logistics, food preferences/allergies, etc., and the meal was delicious! I will absolutely use Chef Mary Ann again and would recommend her to additional guests looking for an excellent, in-home chef experience!

I hired a private chef experience for my friend's bachelorette party. Chef Mary Ann was very nice, flexible with a last-minute change we needed, and the food was great!

We had the pleasure of an amazing Sicilian dinner prepared by chef Mary Ann. Not only was the food incredible, but Mary Ann also made the entire evening so enjoyable. She was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate and knowledgeable about Sicilian cuisine. It was a true culinary experience, and we can't wait to do it again. Highly recommend!
