What to expect
You'll arrive to a welcome drink and light appetisers. The chef will walk you through paella technique step-by-step on the rooftop terrace—saffron preparation, rice timing, layering proteins and vegetables. Expect hands-on involvement; you're not watching a demo, you're cooking. Halfway through or once the paella is resting, you'll also learn sangría mixing principles.
Once everything's ready, you'll sit down to eat the paella you've made, paired with the sangría. The final 30 minutes is a question-and-answer session with the chef—ask about technique, ingredient substitutions, scaling the recipe, or hosting tips. You'll leave with printed recipes and a small gift.
