Join us for an authentic Spanish cooking class that will take you to the streets of Valencia by way of its most famous dish, Paella.
In this fun and interactive cooking class in Seattle, you will learn how to create this famous Spanish favorite known for its signature golden saffron hue, smoky flavors of chorizo, large shrimp, and flavorful vegetables.
You will also learn how to build traditional Spanish flavors and practice your knife skills. Chef Mauricio, a certified sommelier, can talk you through the perfect wine pairings if you'd like to pair your meal with a Spanish or local Washington State wine. Perfect for entertaining; you can wow your friends and family at your next dinner party with your newfound signature dish!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don't already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who's happier observing and assisting.
Guests in the same booking party will sit and work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Groups of 2 or 3 may be asked to share their station with another couple. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are not included in the ticket price. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only.

  • 5/5 from Keegan D Negron, attended Jan 2025: Very funny teacher, kept things entertaining as we waited for our food to cook
  • 2/5 from Cynthia Meyer, attended Jan 2025: I was suggest a more roomy venue, could rent kitchen from condo owners who have nice big kitchens. We had to stand the whole time, 2 hours which is exhausting. Also the cook criticized us for putting I too much liquid when he was the one doing the cooking, not the attendees.
  • 5/5 from Brendan Lawrence, attended Jul 2024: Marucio was amazing we had such a great time! He was fun while being incredibly informative!
