We started off on a 45 minute tour of the market, familiarizing us with the market layout and history. We had a small ham tasting as well with Serrano vs Iberian ham. The prep was done in various stages with the kids actively preparing the five dishes- gazpacho, tomato garlic toast, Spanish omelette, seafood paella and crème brûlée. There was plenty of white and red wine as well. The experience was not only fun but the people I met were lovely.

We were scrambling to find another class, so I reached out to Marta. I figured that I wouldn't hear back for days. I was wrong. Marta responded in under 20 minutes. Unfortunately, she didn't have space for the following day. Imagine my surprise when she followed up a few hours later saying she might have a cancellation and to email her if interested. We had already found a replacement, so I had to decline. I appreciate that Marta is communicative and quick to respond. Thank you, Marta!

We discussed only that morning that a cooking class would be fun, but of course every group we called was booked for the evening. Enter Chef Josh from Barcelona Paella Experience. Unfortunately, he had a busy week and needed to catch up on things that night, but I could tell he was conflicted about whether or not to forego his plans to cook with us. I appreciated that he even considered it, given his busy schedule and that it was for a same-day booking. Luckily, he was able to arrange for another chef that he works with, Chef Andres, to do a private class with us. The experience was amazing! It was definitely the best paella we've ever had and the converted apartment where the class took place was so quaint and personal. Chef Andres was GREAT! Not only did we learn to make delicious sangria, paella, and crema catalana from him, he gave us other cooking tips and grocery/restaurant recs while we were in Barcelona. He has such a relaxed and positive demeanor; it was easy to learn from him. We also really enjoyed being able to sit down and dine with him after we finished cooking the meal. It was a nice change from all the restaurants we were eating at and an overall excellent experience!

It's easy to be tempted to buy yourself (and family/friends) a little souvenir from Barcelona. But if you truly want to take memories of Barcelona home with you, then the best thing you can do is sign up for a cooking class at bcnKitchen. From the very beginning of class, chef Rais welcomed us and the other "students" with cheerful, Catalan hospitality. As a side note, Santa Caterina market - where she took the group to shop for ingredients - is far better than the more popular Boqueria market. The trip to market was a wonderful experience itself as you not only learn about the fundamentals and importance of shopping for fresh ingredients but you also come to appreciate one of the reasons why Barcelona has become such a foodie capital. The setup of the class itself is something I would replicate at home for my next dinner party - getting a group of fun and lively friends, everyone is delegated a task to contribute to the feast, and lots of wine to help everyone relax and enjoy the experience even more. While I may have had some working knowledge of some of the recipes, I truly learned a lot and feel confident that I can take this "souvenir" back home to enjoy with family and friends for many more years to come. Can you say the same about that keychain you bought?
