Barcelona is very much a city that appeals to the senses. From the sun-drenched streets and awe-inspiring architecture to lively markets, Barcelona is a culture vulture's paradise. But to get to the heart of this city, there are foodie treasures everywhere you look. Hands-on culinary adventures let you get into the heart of a Spanish dish. Whether you're an experienced cook or not, cooking classes Barcelona are going to make sure you always feel confident and inspired in the kitchen.


Discover the Heart of Spanish Cooking

Spanish gastronomy goes beyond food; it's history, geography and tradition. Every dish is a story, from sun-drenched fields producing the best olive oils to bustling markets overflowing with fresh seafood and colorful vegetables. These stories are brought to life by Barcelona cooking class hands-on programs.


These lessons are deliberately planned to teach you not only how to cook, but also the story behind and cultural context of each plate. Think about cooking a traditional paella and discovering the Valencian origins behind this important dish or focusing on tapas, these small bites that are like little shots of Spain.


Hands-On Experience in Every Session

Not a cooking school, this isn't the classical 'stand and watch' style. Each student gets to work directly with the ingredients, recipes and everything just flows in the heat of cooking. With every recipe, professional chefs lead you through the steps in making each dish.

From chopping and sautéing the freshest vegetables to mixing spices and perfecting textures—all of your time in a cooking course Barcelona is crafted to place you in the art of Spanish cuisine. By the end of the class, not only will you eat a delicious meal made by your own hands, but you will also take home new knowledge and understanding about Spanish cuisine.


Explore Traditional Dishes

The cooking classes are on various traditional Spanish plates:


  • Paella: Unlock the secrets to preparing this quintessential rice dish that showcases saffron, the finest seafood, and local vegetables.

  • Tapas: Enjoy the art of small plates with everything from patatas bravas to garlic shrimp, ideal for entertaining or a casual meal.

  • Gazpacho and Salmorejo: Cold, refreshing Spanish soups featuring tomatoes, peppers and local herbs.

  • Spanish Desserts: Sweet treats such as churros, crema catalana and just about every kind of almond you can imagine.

Every meal you in a Barcelona cooking class make is hand-picked to show you the full spectrum of Spanish food, from flavour to practice to the meaning behind each dish.
