What you can expect
Step into the world of authentic Valencian cuisine with José Rodríguez, a Michelin-trained chef passionate about sharing his culinary heritage. This fully private and personalized cooking class takes you on a journey through tradition and innovation, where you'll learn to craft iconic Spanish dishes with a modern twist.
Start with a short walk together before arriving at José’s home kitchen, where you’ll enjoy a welcome cocktail—choose between his special Sangria or the famous Agua de Valencia. Then, dive into a hands-on cooking experience tailored to your tastes. Select from a variety of traditional tapas, master the art of paella (including the authentic Valencian version), and finish with a classic dessert. You’ll even get a taste of Cremaet, the famous flambéed Valencian coffee.
To make the experience even more special, you'll take home a personalized recipe book with detailed instructions and insider tips from the chef himself. Whether you're a passionate foodie or a casual traveler, this immersive class will leave you with unforgettable flavors and new cooking skills to impress at home!

More about me
My name is Jose Rodriguez, I was born in Valencia, I'm 38 years old and 15 years ago I started working in a kitchen in London until today, working in Michelin-starred restaurants, traditional restaurants, gastronomic venues, luxury hotels, etc.
For the past year, I have been offering these types of experiences for travelers in my home kitchen, creating a warm and familiar atmosphere as if it were a gathering of friends, where I combine my passions: cooking, history, and culture.
I love sharing stories through food and creating memories around a table.
