Cooking Point, Madrid

Amazing class. Jesus, our chef instructor made it fun, explained everything, and managed to keep multiple groups working together to deliver fantastic food. Honestly, it was the best tapas we had in Madrid and the sangria which have been made by a previous earlier group was to die for. I strongly suggest you find the time on an evening to go out and fix your own meal at cooking point

Tapas class with Angel was wonderful. With all ingredients prepared ahead of time, Angel spent the next few hours showing and telling the small group how make multiple dishes, a dessert, and sangria. As an avid cook, I appreciated the depth of Angel's knowledge - he is a highly-trained chef - as well as his sense of humor. Between the instruction and the mini-recipe book provided at the end of class, I left confident that I would be able to impress family and friends with "my" tapas.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We really enjoyed the paella cooking class with Angel! Angel is very charismatic and has a good sense of humor. He was also very accommodating when it came to changing ingredients. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn to cook traditional Spanish meals.

Best part of the whole trip. Laura is a fantastic instructor and my only regret is not taking the other class.

Laura’s cooking class was fabulous. It has been a highlight of my stay in Madrid. Laura made everyone very welcome. She supplied drinks throughout the lesson and gave a history of tapas. The food was delicious and the company of the other participants was great. I highly recommend this class.

Laura was so awesome! She was super accommodating with our dietary restrictions and adjusted the recipes accordingly. She made the instructions extremely easy to follow (and made sure that we had Sangria at all times!).

I highly recommend taking the class, it was our favorite activity that we booked in Madrid.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Cooking Point tapas cooking class I recently took during my trip to Madrid. The cooking was done in pairs so it was a very hands-on experience. Teresa is an excellent instructor. She was a lot of fun, while at the same time teaching us some technique and giving little tips. She engaged the group as a whole while at the same time keeping an eye on individuals and their progress, making helpful suggestions when necessary. The 'dinner party' at the end when we all ate the fruits of our labor was such fun and so delicious. And I loved the fact that take-out containers were provided for leftovers. We were staying in an apartment and ate them for breakfast the next day.

Absolutely exceptional experience. Angel was very good and patient. Our class had several kids in the 10-12 yr old range as well as adults. This didn't cause a bit of nervousness or change in the experience. I am a very experienced home cook who takes cooking seriously. This class had enough complexity to keep it interesting for me, but was basic enough for my son to enjoy cooking all of the dishes. Angel gave history to ingredients and techniques. This type of stuff influences the experienced and keeps the youth interested. We had an absolute blast! Well done. Highly recommended.

Our paella, gazpacho, and sangria class was truly delightful, informative, and FUN. Our instructing chef was thorough and enthusiastic about teaching us how to cook and general information about Spanish gastronomy. The class not only taught us how to make these traditional dishes but it dove into so much history of Spain and gastronomy. Additionally, it was a lot of fun getting to know the other visitors from all over the world in the class. I would 100% recommend this class.

What a lovely experience. I recommend it to anyone travelling to Madrid and would like to experience the cooking culture of Spain. Very includes and caterers for everyone’s needs. The paella experience was great. Would love to do the tapas next time I’m in town.

My Fiancé and I attended the Tapas style cooking class at Cooking Point with Theresa! It was amazing. Such an unique and fun activity to experience while traveling Spain. There was plenty of food, even leftovers and we cannot wait to bring the receipes home to NYC and share with our family and friends. A must do!

Wonderful experience! Instruction was easy to follow, food was delicious, nice people and Christina was awesome.

I love to take cooking classes and visit markets when traveling. I loved combining the two with the Paella making class in Madrid at Cooking Point.
It turned out that I was the only person registered for the class, as it is low season. The market trip was across the street and so interesting. The class was terrific. Eduardo has a beautiful, bright and well equipped kitchen set up for efficient and fun lessons and interactions.
The recipes are well laid out and I learned some new kitchen techniques.
I enjoyed getting to know Eduardo and can’t wait to make Paella at home!

Fantastic lesson and lunch. Highly professional presenter (Eduardo). Thoroughly enjoyable, learned new skills. Enjoyed shopping with a local at the markets.

The tapas class was great. Lily, the teacher, was very good. I would highly recommend Cooking Point.

The place to be to learn making Sangria, Gazpacho and Paella. You start by going to the market for ingredients, where the teacher gives you a lot of information. Afterwards you get excellent instructions for preparing the food. The result was fantastic, an unforgettable experience! Great teacher, thank you Eduardo!

I took a Tapas cooking class at Cooking Point and it was an excellent experience! We made 6 different things and everything came out delicious. The instructor, Laura, was funny and informative. I thought it was a good value for the money - 4 hour class. I will definitely be back to take the Paella class.

I booked the tapas cooking class for my family while in Madrid, this was definitely a fun activity! The class was set at a good pace was easy to follow and it was great seeing what goes into some of the main stay tapas that you see everywhere. Cooking is done in pairs but you could easily go solo.

Highly recommend

Our instructor was amazing! Great experience and fun. I thought it was overpriced. I also thought the paella didn’t taste that good. I didn’t eat much at the end of the class when we sat down for lunch. Which is why I thought it wasn’t value for money.

This is the best thing I did in Madrid! Go and have Lily take you to the market and tell you about Spanish culture through food. Then cook up a storm under her excellent and relaxed guidance. Finally enjoy your self made gazpacho, sangria and paella. Exceeded my expectations, well worth your money.
