About this tour
Learn to cook paella or fideua in Nicole's Barcelona apartment, guided by a Michelin-trained instructor who's taught English for 15 years. Start with an optional market tour through Mercat de Sants to source ingredients, meet local vendors, then return to her home kitchen for hands-on preparation and a full Spanish meal with wine. Four hours total, tailored to dietary needs.

What to expect
If you book the market option, Nicole meets you at Mercat de Sants to walk through stalls together, learning which ingredients matter and why. She'll introduce you to producers she's worked with for years. Back at her apartment, you'll work side-by-side at the stove, learning the real tricks—heat control, timing, the subtle signs a paella is ready. She teaches, corrects kindly, and explains the 'why' behind each step. Once everything's cooked, you eat together at her table with wine, a proper meal rather than a rushed tasting.
Good to know
Public transport is close by; no hotel transfers included. Mention any allergies or dietary needs at booking—she plans around them. The menu shifts with seasons, so expect different produce depending when you visit. Prams welcome for young children.
