You’ll learn from a skilled local chef who is passionate about sharing authentic Catalan recipes and the stories behind them, and you’ll be supporting a local nonprofit at the same time. With personalized guidance through each step, you’ll prepare three classic dishes: fresh gazpacho, traditional Spanish paella (offered with meat or vegetarian), and a silky crema catalana to finish on a sweet note. Along the way, you’ll pick up Spanish cooking tips you can take home, and you’ll get to work with seasonal, sustainable ingredients that reflect the kitchen’s slow-food philosophy. Kids can join in as well, and it’s a great opportunity to learn about Barcelona’s food culture. All of this unfolds in the hands-on working kitchen at Mescladís, a Barcelona restaurant with heart. Mescladís helps open doors to careers in hospitality, providing essential training for marginalized communities, especially those from migrant and refugee backgrounds. By joining this class, you’re helping their work toward a more inclusive, sustainable future. After cooking, sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor, paired with the drink of your choice, such as wine, beer, juice, organic soda, or seltzer. It’s a chance to learn something new, soak up the atmosphere, and leave with more than just recipes — you’ll take home a taste of Barcelona’s heart and spirit. ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/6954c7f5-e9e4-4149-e64a-0554f93ee500/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/a7718d1b-90f0-4812-7260-7c8c27c46100/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/7719a171-2523-4283-f6ca-072c6a5e6000/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/7a007ad0-1099-44d6-1d4f-0fe2ca872200/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/8461f3ca-3bc3-43a0-3692-a9e4b9d15100/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/36a85986-b5b1-47f0-364a-a0461dfda100/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/445dc4c0-74d1-4290-8366-18a61ae7ad00/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/334f4479-a50e-4759-6854-e3cf7851e900/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/f2e0094e-1e67-45b3-7b5a-5f82517fcb00/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/6a1aeeb0-f47a-4200-aacc-896593ecb000/content) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/6954c7f5-e9e4-4149-e64a-0554f93ee500/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/a7718d1b-90f0-4812-7260-7c8c27c46100/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/7719a171-2523-4283-f6ca-072c6a5e6000/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/7a007ad0-1099-44d6-1d4f-0fe2ca872200/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/8461f3ca-3bc3-43a0-3692-a9e4b9d15100/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/36a85986-b5b1-47f0-364a-a0461dfda100/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/445dc4c0-74d1-4290-8366-18a61ae7ad00/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/334f4479-a50e-4759-6854-e3cf7851e900/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/f2e0094e-1e67-45b3-7b5a-5f82517fcb00/thumb) ![](https://www.experiencefirsttravel.com/media/images/6a1aeeb0-f47a-4200-aacc-896593ecb000/thumb) ## Schedule * ### Introduction Sharing how this unique culinary social project is making the world a better place * ### Gazpacho The classic chilled Spanish soup * ### Spanish paella Offered with meat or vegetarian if you prefer * ### Crema catalana Also known as Catalan cream, a sweet custard to finish your meal ## What sets this experience apart * Personalized instruction as you create a three-course Spanish meal * The chance to support a nonprofit that's changing lives in the local community * An authentic Catalan meal enjoyed in an atmospheric Barcelona restaurant ## Meeting Point We meet inside the Mescladís restaurant at Carrer del Comte Borrell 122\.
