Master Spain's national dish, Paella Valenciana, in a private online cooking class with a chef live from Spain
Spain's national dish is not only delicious, it's a feast for the eyes. But what you may not know is, the subject of Paella can be quite controversial in Spain. What was traditionally a peasant dish, is now a star on Spanish menus around the world, and Paella Valenciana is what most agree is the original Paella that started it all. Traditionally made with both chicken and rabbit, this Spanish cooking experience will teach you the fundamentals of making a fabulous Paella at home.
Our chefs in Spain will guide you step-by-step, live from their home in Spain, on how to make a quick chicken stock, which will be used in your Chicken Paella. You’ll learn how to ensure your Paella meets all of the Spanish standards in a fun experience with your chef watching and guiding everything you do! Alongside your paella, you’ll make a traditional Spanish starter, Pisto Manchego - a warm vegetable ratatouille that may become a summer staple in your kitchen. Share stories, laugh and enjoy time in your kitchen, with a chef live in Spain! Book your virtual cooking class and have an experience in your home you’ll never forget.
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. Our Kitchen Assistants will help assist you with finding the best pan for your experience. If you choose to not use a Paella Pan, your class will be modified to make a fabulous Spanish Chicken & Rice.
