Valencian paella cooking class, tapas and visit to Ruzafa market.

Authentieke paella gemaakt met twee zeer gepassioneerde koks! Gezellig samen naar de markt en daarna met een zeer internationaal gezelschap stap voor stap zeevruchten paella gemaakt. Dit alles onder het genot van een drankje.

What a wonderful experience me and my wife had at My First Paella! We started by meeting at the market and learned a little about the process of what goes into it. Short walk after that we were eating tapas, drinking sangria, and cooking. We had so much fun getting to cook a fresh paella and it was delicious. We will definitely be booking this experience again next time we are in Valencia!

We had the best time with the team at My First Paella and would definitely recommend as an activity to do whilst in Valencia. We met outside the market in Rusafa and were introduced to 2 of the team members who then took us in 2 groups into the market to shop for ingredients. We were given lots of information about the ingredients and the different types of paella. We then took the short walk to the kitchen where we put on our aprons and were given a selection of tapas and then shown how to make sangria. This was very entertaining and the sangria was delicious! We then started to chop the ingredients needed for our dish. We had opted to make the traditional Valencian paella with rabbit, chicken and snails but there was also a small group making Seafood Paella at the same time, so that meant that we got to see the difference between the 2 methods. There were 4 of us around our paella, with about 8 others around another paella at the end of the workbench. After cooking the paella, which was great fun, we were given another drink ( a bit like ouzo) and then sat down to taste our concoctions with wine. There was dessert and coffee to finish off our day. Thank you to the team for making our time such fun! We will definitely be making this at home and glad that the recipes are on your website for us to remember what we learnt!
