Bring a taste of sun-soaked Spain to your table with this chef-led cooking class

Paella is one of the world’s most-loved dishes and this online cooking class offers the chance to finally master it at home. Sign up and you’ll be guided by a world-class chef, learning the time-honored traditions and secrets behind authentic Spanish seafood paella.

You’ll learn to prepare ingredients like clams, prawns, mussels and saffron, cooking them up in a traditional paella pan and achieving the crispy, flavor-packed rice crust known as a socarrat. And don’t worry, drinks are also included; a crisp, sunny cocktail mixed with pinot grigio and lemon juice is the perfect pairing for the food. Book this class today!

We enjoyed cooking a Seafood Paella. Great knowledge and suggestions for substitutions of needed or desired items. We were also impressed that she knew about the history of the dish. Website was not as user friendly but have absolutely no complaints about Chef.

I cooked the most beautiful paella and was so impressed with how it turned out! The class was so wonderful and perfectly tailored to the ingredients I had but also the speed at which my dish was cooking. It was such a wonderful personal experience! I learned so much and all my questions were answered as well as great conversations about our love for food! I highly recommend this class!
