Customer Reviews
Venue was easy to find and communication clear. Johannes was an experienced chef who engaged easily and took us on a culinary journey. A detailed explanation and tour of the markets was provided as he shopped for ingredients. The kitchen was clean, comfortable and well set up. Johannes explained how to prepare ingredients and why. Each person was designated a role in preparing the four courses we would eat. Wine and water were both available throughout. Conversation was great and he answered many questions about life in Spain. The end result was delicious. Catered for a seafood allergy with an alternative, which was much appreciated. Johannes is a credit to Barcelona Cooking.
We started the day visiting the local market, La Boqueria, with Sonia, the instructor, to get the ingredients that we would need to create the day's menu. Sonia guided us through the market where we stopped at several stalls to sample what they were selling — olives, Serrano and Iberico ham, and Catalan candy. Sonia is a trained chef, and she quickly showed us what we needed to do to make a strawberry mint gazpacho, an onion and potato torta, seafood paella, and a Catalan cream dessert. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow. There were only four people in the class, and Sonia made sure that each of us took part in creating the four dishes. We enjoyed Spanish wines while we cooked and when we ate. I highly recommend this experience.
