"Cozy cooking in a Barcelona home"
Fantastic time and authentic Catalan cooking experience in a home with a true Grandma. 100% would recommend and I would personally do it again! Nice to have a family dinner in Spain!

"A phenomenal culinary experience!"
Cooking with la Yaya! is truly a unique hands-on cooking experience! I am an avid baker and always eager to improve my culinary skills, and this is the place to learn. Rather than cooking a boring paella, we made a delicious traditional Spanish meal consisting of a tapa (chistorra y pan), gazpacho, arroz caldoso, and a pudding dessert. This class is very interactive as there are many tasks to be done before enjoying the meal, so you will never be bored in the kitchen. Grandma Marina shared many cooking tricks with us that I will definitely be using in my own kitchen. The food was excellent, everyone was so friendly, and the venue was lovely. If you're ever in Barcelona, I would highly recommend taking a Grandma's Cooking class!
