About us
This certified cooking school is run by second-generation professional chefs and has over 8 years of experience in culinary training. It is located on Carrer del Notariat, just steps away from Las Ramblas and La Boquería Market, in a location with easy access by metro, buses and nearby parking facilities.
Classes are structured into three main modalities adapted to different needs:
- Classes for individuals in groups of up to 10 people, available in Spanish or English
- Culinary Team Building workshops for companies, from 10 to 300 participants
- Specialized courses for chefs, cooks and future professionals in the sector lasting 2 months
Sessions for individuals include a hands-on experience where participants cook their own paella from start to finish under the guidance of chefs. The training covers mastering the socarrat with specialized mentoring, a visit to La Boquería Market to select ingredients and learn about their preparation, and delivery of an exclusive recipe book to recreate the dishes at home. Classes are adapted to special diets, including vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Corporate workshops combine culinary training with the development of skills such as teamwork, trust and leadership. Each workshop includes the technical preparation of paella with a focus on socarrat, artisanal sangria preparation, MasterChef-style simulation with presentation and technique evaluation, and an optional immersion experience at La Boquería Market. Participants receive an official certificate and photo report for corporate use.
Professional training is aimed at those seeking to specialize in rice dishes and paellas. Courses last two months with weekly sessions, available in Spanish or English. The program covers everything from traditional techniques to restaurant-level presentation, including risottos, paellas, soupy rice dishes and stir-fried rice. Graduates obtain accredited certification, a professional recipe portfolio and exclusive access to local suppliers.
All training is delivered as an educational activity, with a 100% hands-on approach from the very first moment. The location in the heart of Ciutat Vella facilitates the combination of classroom theory with direct practice in one of Barcelona's most iconic markets.
