Spanish Paella Party

Description

Due to the nature of this class, this class can only accept bookings of 2 or more. If you are booking your class as a group please make the reservation under one name, as a full booking group.

Escape to Valencia with our authentic Spanish Paella class! In this fun and interactive class, you will learn how to create this famous Spanish favorite known for its signature golden saffron hue, smoky flavors of chorizo, fresh seafood and textured vegetables. You will also learn how to flavor profile and blend Spanish flavors, and where to source fresh, seasonal ingredients in order to master the perfect Paella. Perfect for entertaining, wow your friends and family at your next dinner party with your new found 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.  You will be seated with your booking party and will work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. To ensure the safety and enriching experience of all participants, we require children aged 14 to 17 be accompanied by a parent or guardian during our cooking classes. Classes are intended for adults 18+.  Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price.  Guests who are 21 and over are invited to BYOB (beer, wine, and champagne only).

I truly cannot say enough great things about Jerry. He was the perfect chef for our event and played such a huge role in making the night as fun and memorable as it was. From the very beginning, Jerry brought such great energy into the room. He immediately helped break the ice with his jokes and personality, and before we knew it, he had everyone laughing and engaged. The vibes were high from start to finish, and he made the entire experience feel relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely fun. During the cooking portion, Jerry did an amazing job walking us through every step while sharing helpful tips and tricks along the way. He made everything easy to follow, kept the group involved, and created so many opportunities for people to participate, ask questions, laugh, and interact with one another. It never felt like we were just following a recipe. It felt like a real experience that brought the entire group together. What stood out to me most was how well he connected with everyone in the room. We had people at different levels of seniority at the event, including some of our most senior leadership, and everyone was laughing, participating, and having a great time. That says a lot about Jerry's ability to read a room and create an experience that feels fun and engaging for everyone. By the end of the night, everyone was talking about how much fun they had, how great the food was, and what an amazing job Jerry did. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone looking for a cooking class, team event, or just a genuinely fun experience. This was honestly one of the best cooking classes I've ever taken, and Jerry made it unforgettable. If I could give 100 stars, I would. Thank you, Jerry, for making our event so special!

Very down to earth guy who clearly has a passion for his craft, and teaches in a very easy-to-understand manner. I went with my brother and it was a great way to spend a Saturday. Thanks Jerry!

Fun experience! Chef Jerry gave us a thorough background of the ingredients, slowly and methodically demonstrated the chopping/cooking techniques, and came around giving advice, and we ended up with a delicious and good-looking Paella.
