Description

Your Unforgettable Barcelona Food Journey Forget watching paella simmer in tourist traps—cook it yourself with Helina & Maria, a mother-daughter chef duo trained at Michelin-starred Hofmann Culinary School. Since 2018, we’ve shared our family’s Catalan culinary legacy with travelers seeking authenticity. ✨ What Makes Us Unique GENERATIONS OF EXPERTISE: Learn from chefs whose paella secrets span decades, refined at Barcelona’s elite Hofmann school. BEYOND TOURIST CLICHÉS: We skip gimmicks—teach traditional techniques you’ll reuse at home. YOUR MENU, YOUR WAY: Seafood paella is our star, but vegan/meat options await with advance notice! ⏳ Your 3-Hour Experience 1. LA BOQUERIA MARKET ADVENTURE (45 mins) Handpick fresh ingredients with your guides: plump mussels, saffron, bomba rice, and seasonal produce. Hear insider stories about Catalan food culture and vendor relationships we’ve nurtured for years. 2. STUDIO WELCOME & SANGRIA CRAFTING (45 mins) Sip cava while nibbling Spanish tapas: jamón ibérico, local cheeses, and mussels. Mix your own sangria using seasonal fruits and local wine—the perfect icebreaker! 3. PAELLA MASTERCLASS (45 mins) Cook step-by-step with Helina & Maria: toast rice, build sofrito, and layer flavors like a pro. Learn why the pan matters: Why width > depth, and how heat control makes perfection. Vegan/meat option? Your customized paella simmers alongside seafood versions. 4. FEAST & CELEBRATE! (45 mins) Savor your creation family-style with new friends. Enjoy dessert while receiving digital recipes via email.
