What You’ll Do

A tradition held dear across the entire country, tapas pair best with a Spanish fiesta.

In this hands-on class with Chef Ja'Nel, get ready for an authentic fiesta as you create, share and enjoy some of the most popular Spanish tapas plates.

You will begin by preparing three traditional tapas dishes including ensalada de casa, crispy potatoes in a spicy tomato sauce, and gambas al ajillo. Then, Chef Ja'Nel will help you to capture the colorful spirit of Valencia with a beautiful and authentic family-style paella. For dessert, you'll make crema catalana, a rich Spanish custard also known as burnt cream or trinity cream with a hard caramel topping.

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

Wow! Chef Ja'Nel was absolutely delightful and our meal could not have been more fun. Our event was a luncheon and class for a gourmet cooking group, and we all learned some great tips and tricks in addition to enjoying a delicious meal. I would highly recommend Chef Ja'Nel!

It was such a delight to cook with Chef Ja'Nel! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. She is smart but also down to Earth. Her stories about traveling the world to learn different dishes made us feel like we were in her own personal cooking show. It's easy to see why Chef Ramsay hired her!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Is there anything this chef can't do?? Chef Ja'Nel is absolutely amazing and her food is out of this world scrumptious! She is a natural born teacher and takes time to make your sessions personalized and most of all fun. Pour up a glass of wine and let the laughs begin. You should take advantage and schedule a class while you can. She is truly gifted and I bet she will be completely booked soon. Best food ever!! Thank you so much for the tasty and delicious food!

Chef Ja'Nel is by far one of the best chefs I've had the pleasure to order meals from. Ive enjoyed over 60 different dishes and each dish was amazingly delicious. Her meals are seasoned to perfection and have some of the best flavor combinations. Highly recommended!
