Every moment of this experience was fabulous! Jose is a wonderful gourmet chef as well as having a great personality! He immediately made us feel at home as we talked and helped create delicious tapas with a new twist. We loved making the traditional paella with him and enjoyed trying some new drinks and a delicious dessert that was a creative twist on horchata, a typical Valencian drink which he turned into mousse with chocolate shavings. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Jose is a star and cooking with him was the highlight of our week.

This was a gift to my husband, and it was the two of us in Jose’s apartment. What a fun time! We really enjoyed the cooking, the local drinks, and the history geography stories. Heartily recommend. Having the recipes to take home and recommendations for local shopping is a bonus.

An unforgettable day in Chef Jose's home learning the art of authentic paella. His passion and knowledge shone through every step - from cooking technique to the history and culture behind Valencian cuisine. There was a spectacular starter and dessert with generously served drinks of our choice. Much more than a cooking class, this felt like being in a friend's kitchen. We left with new skills, wonderful memories and a deep appreciation for Spanish cooking. Absolutely recommended.

This was an amazing experience!! Do not miss this! Chef Jose is so passionate about food, especially paella. As you are sitting in his cute kitchen, sip the aqua de Valencia he makes right in front of you, nibble on the flavorful traditional Tapas and listen to him talk about the history of Valencia. The paella was made with love and such detail and expertise! So authentic. Do not miss this amazing experience!!!!

Chef Jose Rodriguez first and foremost is a beautiful soul. From the minute he greets you to when you depart, you are immersed in a journey full of historic perspectives of Spain, insight into the culture of Valencia, and presented with impeccably prepared Spanish food and Spirits. This former Michelin two star executive chef invites you into his home for a truly memorable experience that is unique, authentic, and thoroughly enjoyable. It was easy going, fun, and an informative experience; like being with a lifelong friend for a long enjoyable afternoon respite. This is an extraordinary value proposition and one of our favorite experiences during our 17-day Spain sojourn. Treat yourself to a special adventure. The Spain Crew
