What to expect
You'll arrive at a teaching kitchen in central Madrid and spend three hours at a shared prep station. The chef demonstrates each dish first, then you take over—handling rice, stock, and saffron for paella; combining fruit and wine for sangria; piping dough into hot oil for churros. There's downtime between cooking stages where you'll chat and sip sangria (non-alcoholic options provided). Once everything's ready, you sit down and eat your own work. The pace is relaxed and social rather than pressured.
