Learn the art of making authentic Seafood Paella in a private cooking class with a chef live in Spain
Spain's national dish is not only delicious, it's a feast for your eyes, as well. The traditions of Paella go back to some of the earliest dated recipes of mankind. Making an authentic Seafood Paella is truly an art. From learning how to work with a variety of seafood including mussels, clams, shrimp and calamari, to perfecting al dente rice and the socarrat, the characteristic caramelized crust - this cooking class is perfect for entertainers and anyone looking to throw a festive Spanish dining experience at home.
Our chefs in Spain will guide you step-by-step via video conference, from their home, in this Spanish cooking class you'll never forget. In your Seafood Paella experience, you'll also learn how to make your own homemade seafood stock, a quick aioli and typical Spanish salad complete with a Spanish style Vinaigrette. Once your class is over, you'll say goodbye to your chef and have a beautiful meal to enjoy at home.
Important: A Paella Pan is required equipment to make this dish the traditional way and enjoy this class to its fullest. If you don't have one, we highly recommend purchasing one for your class.
