What a cooking class is like

It is a hands-on workshop in a small group: a cook explains each step, you chop, fry and plate, and at the end you sit down to eat what you have made together. No experience is needed; you learn one specific recipe you can repeat at home.

Drink workshops, such as cocktail making, belong to the same family: you learn to use the tools and the basic spirits, and everyone mixes their own cocktails. They are two- to three-hour plans that work well with friends, as a couple or as a group activity.

What is on offer, duration and prices

Today there are two experiences published, both in Madrid. The paella workshop lasts two and a half hours, includes unlimited sangria and tapas while the rice cooks, runs in groups of up to 16 and costs 60 € per person, with a minimum of two.

The cocktail workshop lasts about two hours, includes ingredients, spirits and tools to make three classic cocktails, takes groups of up to 20 and costs 40 € per person, with a minimum of six. Both are run in Spanish or English.

Times and how to book

The paella workshop runs every day at 11:30 and 20:00, and the cocktail workshop every day at 18:00. Groups are small, so for Fridays and Saturdays it is wise to book ahead.

It is booked on request: you choose day and time, your card is authorised and the charge only happens once the workshop confirms, within 24 hours. If it cannot, the booking is cancelled at no cost. You then get a pass with a QR code by email.
