Transport yourself to Spain in this hands-on cooking class, where you'll learn to prepare one of the country's most iconic dishes: Paella. Guided by your chef instructor, you'll create a beautifully balanced paella featuring fragrant saffron rice, chicken and seasonal vegetables, while mastering the techniques that make this beloved dish a centerpiece of Spanish cuisine.
To complement the meal, your chef will also demonstrate how to prepare a classic gazpacho, sharing tips on balancing fresh tomatoes, vegetables, olive oil, and vinegar to create this refreshing Spanish favorite.
Along the way, you'll discover the foundations of Spanish cooking, learn how to build bold, authentic flavors, and pick up tips for sourcing quality ingredients at home. Whether you're looking to expand your culinary skills or impress friends and family at your next dinner party, you'll leave with the confidence to recreate this delicious Spanish feast in your own kitchen.

Tommaso was co-owner of the Italian restaurant TANTI BACI in NYC, before spending time in
Peru to learn about Amazonian produce and agricultural practice. It was in Peru that he started the tomato sauce brand DUE AMICI, which is still being sold in Lima today. After moving back to NYC, Tommaso opened PROPRIO COSI, a company that will serve “on the go” organic food, with ingredients from local farms and businesses. He’s also the producer of a bi-monthly literary podcast series based on award-winning short stories and novels.
