Cooking Class - Traditional Wood-Fired Paella

Learn how to prepare classic paella and tapas in this feast of Spanish seafood specialties.

Gather in the kitchen for this hands-on cooking class where Chef Luke will teach you how to expertly shop for proper ingredients and prepare a classic seafood paella completely from scratch.

First, create two seafood tapas to enjoy while preparing your paella: Octopus with potatoes and prawns with garlic. Next, you'll combine bomba rice, prawns, scallops and aromatics in a saffron broth and simmer it slowly over a live fire. End your Spanish feast with an indulgent handmade cheesecake topped with a gingery berry-orange compote.

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

A working chef since the age of 18, Chef Luke has made a home for himself in the kitchen since childhood, when Mediterranean cuisine began to inform his culinary style. By age 20, he had risen the ranks to head chef, eventually opening his own delivery-only restaurant to serve his community during the pandemic downturn. Nothing gives Chef Luke greater joy than creating handmade food and teaching his secrets to budding cooks.
