"Amazing paella cooking class! "
Rafael is a fantastic teacher! This was definitely the best paella I've ever eaten.
For this class, they picked us up right in front of our Airbnb around 11am and drove us ~30 minutes into the Valencia countryside to a farmhouse in the middle of an orange tree grove. We got a bit of an introduction to the property....
and the background of cooking, then Rafael took us through the steps of cooking paella (around an hour total). We got a snack break in the middle of cooking (an amazing Spanish omelette, cheese, sausage, olives) and then got to enjoy.... our paella with wine once it was done cooking. If you're vegetarian, let them know in advance because they can arrange to cook a vegetable-based paella instead of the traditional Valencian paella (chicken, rabbit, green beans and butter beans).
They were nice enough to drop us off (since it was just the two of us!) at the Arts and Science museum afterwards. The whole experience (including driving) was around 4 hours and I can't recommend it enough!
“Cooking the authentic paella”
At this wonderful nice place at a tiny country house - I learned to cook an original paella. Every step with the prepared ingredients we have been teached by the spanish cook to do ourself to go ahead untill to eat in the sun between orange trees and yellow flowers.

“A Wonderful Cooking paella!”
If you are looking to get out of the city and check out the wonderful country side and have a fantastic and authentic paella meal, Mi Paella En El Huerta is the place! It was great that a round trip pick up/drop off from the hotel is provided so we don't need to worry about how to get to the country house which is only...

Tripadvisorabout 25 minutes away from the city center. We toured the garden and the house, learned how to cook an authentic paella, ate several delicious appetizers, and of course, the delicious paella too! It was a well planned event and lots of fun! A big thanks to Vicky, Rafa and Pedro who made this event very enjoyable!
“Great experience”
What a good idea it was to complement our journey to Valencia with the paella workshop given by Rafael. We found it very enjoyable and informative. We can advice everyone to do the same.
We were impressed bij the friendliness and hospitality of our hosts Rafael,

TripadvisorVicky and Pedro. It was nice to see the fields with orange trees and learn a lot about the traditions in this part of Spain.
“The best part of my 10 days in Spain”
I simply loved this adventure. Personal driver escorted us out of the city and into the countryside.
A wonderful man and chef named Rafa taught us to cook Paella on an outdoor fire. While it simmered we ate tapas and drank delicious wine and Spanish beer.

TripadvisorOur best memories of Spain and most colorful photos were from that day. Thank you, Rafa! Great value. Great times.
“Top Notch event - 10/10”
It was wonderful to take part in the cooking of paella. We really felt it was a great hands-on experience. But even more wonderful was the truly warm welcome from Rafa, Maria, and Ana.
They explained the history of cooking paella and their own personal family...

Tripadvisorexperiences regarding this wonderful dish.We learned so much about the people of Valencia. They actually made us feel like "good friends of the family". Maria picked us up and later drove us back to our hotel. This experience was our favorite activity while in Valencia.
“Fabulous day!! ”
What an absolutely incredible experience!! A fantastic, well thought out day which turned out to be much more than we expected. We were greeted with a lovely welcoming, were taught new kitchen skills, and ate our weight in authentic Valencian delicacies.

TripadvisorIf you are contemplating over doing this day out, we highly recommend it to anyone.. Well worth the money, you will not be disappointed and you will not leave hungry! Thank you Rafa and his team.
“Traditional Paella Cooking Experience”
We booked the paella cooking class on the back end of a 10-day road trip through southeast Spain. We saved the best for last and it was well worth the wait! Spain is full of great eats no matter your location but Valencia is paella. Don’t be fooled, traditional paella is made with meat (rabbit, chicken, pork) not fish.

TripadvisorThe actual cooking location is 20-30 minutes outside the city center of Valencia, but you can get a bit of history and see the rice farms along the way. You will arrive in a small village, and the 'huerto' is quiet and intimate, depending on the number of guests in your group.
The staff was always pleasant and respectful. They clearly take pride in their work and appeal. Rafael (master paella) has a great sense of humor, and he enjoys when you take control of the cooking. He prefers to speak in Spanish and having a detailed conversation in English was a challenge, but did not take away from the experience. Rafael is very knowledgeable about the history of the land and traditional paella cooking.
Tapas and drinks are included with the experience, but don’t fill up on cheese and olives! The Spanish tortilla is amazing and we are still trying to determine the best cooking methods at home. On to the main attraction …. the paella. We are very happy that we waited to try the paella in Valencia. These guys know how to cook! When the dish is brought to the table, instinctively you think it is too much food for the group. But after the meal is over, you will find a clean paella dish before you. The variety of meats, combined with crisp veggies and fried rice, make for a wonderful meal. If we find ourselves in Valencia again, we would stop by to say hello and sharpen our cooking skills!
Complimentary beer and wine are offered throughout the meal .... but for those not drinking alcohol or those who can't, water was the only alternative offered to us that day. So plan accordingly if you would like something else refreshing with your paella dish.
“Paella Cooking Class”
My husband and I had a great time learning how to cook authentic Paella Valenciana. We took the class in January and even though we were the only ones who made a reservation, Rafa still took honoured our booking. The scenery at the orange orchard was very nice!.

TripadvisorRafa (and our driver and translator Vicente) also gave clear instructions. While we were waiting for the rice to cook, they served us some snacks including a very tasty torta espanola. Afterwards, Vicente toured us around the area and dropped us off near La Malvarosa. I booked directly through their website.
“Amazing day, make sure you are hungry!!”
My daughter and I had a wonderful experience, the hosts are very friendly and have a great knowledge of the history of the dish and the stunning area.
The food is amazing but make sure you are hungry when you go as they feed you not just with a fabulous Paella...
lizthorpe2310
Tripadvisorbut also a snack beforehand, then after your Paella you will be slice of homemade cake (made by the chef) and the recipe for this will be included with the recipe for the Paella. I visit here is a must!! Thanks for a fabulous day and equally fabulous Paella
“Great hosts, awesome and relaxing at the same time!”
We were picked up from our AirBnB and driven to the "casa de campo" which was nestled in between orange groves and rice fields. The two owners were totally cool, very friendly and welcoming. We got a tour of the house...

Tripadvisorand then began watching as our Chef taught us how the paella is done, cooked and experienced in Valencia. My girlfriend and I totally loved it, we had a great time.
Muy Buena la Paella!!!
“A hidden gem of the Valencian countryside”
For those who loves culture & cookery this is a tremendous opportunity to share an afternoon with an authentic Valencian paella chef, sharing his knowledge and expertise of paella making & its origins as a national dish.
TheInfamous
TripadvisorWonderfully welcoming, fascinating insight & gorgeous surroundings are all part of this experience culminating in a feast of the most scrumptious paella in existence. Do not miss this if you are able to partake.
“A highlight of our trip in Spain”
Rafa was amazing and to be treated the way we were was such an honour. Going out of the city to his homestead and learning more about Spanish culture and of course how to make the best Paella was just so good.
“The smell of fresh fruits surrounded us”
We had an amazing cooking class afternoon. We learned how to make Paella while sipping Sangria on a true Valencian summer villa porch on an orange orchard. The smell of fresh fruits surrounded us,

Viatorthe city sounds were nowehere to be heard and our chef and his English translator made the experience an afternoon I will never forget. Could not reccomend more for a relaxing day outside of the city center.
