Had an amazing tour and cooking class with Chef Leo and Sabrina. The salmorejo and Chickpeas with spinach dishes were both great, and the paella was perfection. Chef Leo was a fantastic and hilarious teacher and presenter. The whole of Mercado de Triana was great to visit, but the cooking class was truly the star of the experience. Looking forward to trying these recipes at home. read more

Very informative and fun paella cooking class in a charming upscale Sevilla market. Not inexpensive, but a fun way to spend an afternoon, learning to cook in Sevilla read more

Fun experience. Be prepare, its a 3 hour cooking class and you'll be making 3 dishes that you won't be able to eat until the very end. A: Chef - very chill and knowledgeable about his ingredients. Explained a lot of the process and its history B: Food - very straightforward and basic. Once you get the basic down, you can add/minus ingredients you want to make it your own. I do appreciate learning the traditional way of making these Spanish dishes A+: Experience - fun to do with a group, staff was very attentive and nice, we were served snacks and drinks throughout our time and they cater to your needs the best they can. Highly recommended. read more

I took a cooking class here with Victor, and it was definitely the highlight of my visit to Seville. We started with a tour of the market with Jessica, and she did a great job explaining the various specialties of the region. The class was amazing. Victor is a true professional; his explanations were wonderful, and you can tell he's very passionate about the local food and its history. Highly recommended. read more

This is was an incredible experience! Dominic and Clara were wonderful. Clara took us on a very informative tour of Triana Market, explaining the history and showcasing the ingredients in the dishes that were were going to make. Dominic was a great chef and instructor, who was personable, entertaining and informative. The dishes that we made were delicious - Valencian and vegetarian paellas, spinach with chick peas and salmonejo. We had freshly made Sangria during the class and Dominic made us a refreshing lemon sorbet with cava as a final treat. Thank you to all of the staff at Taller Andaluz for a memorable experience! read more

We took their market tour and cooking class and it was AMAZING! Our guide through the market was so knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Spanish ingredients, how they are sourced, etc. I learned so much and am motivated to use new ingredients. And the cooking class was fun and attainable and delicious. I am excited to make the entire meal for my friends when we go back home. The teachers were friendly, and inviting. The organization was a well oiled machine in how smoothly everything ran. I would absolutely recommend this way to spend a morning in Sevilla. We learned a ton and had a blast doing it. The class was entirely in English and our class was made up of mostly Americans, but we got to chat with those from Korea and Belgium too. I am not really a "tour" kind of person, but this was amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about Spain and Spanish food. read more

I was lucky enough to get invited to a class when on a group trip to Seville. This class made the entire trip unique and memorable. I love to cook and have taken classes in Florence, Marrakech and now Seville. This class was by far the best, although it was not as hands on as other classes. However, what you pick up in knowledge is far more important to learn some of the intricacies of Spanish cuisine, so the fact you aren't always chopping and stirring is secondary. Chef Victor is the son of a Spanish man and an English woman, so his English is perfect but he's Spanish through and through, so English speakers will enjoy learning what is an authentic paella (surprise, no seafood!) and other secrets of this amazing culinary tradition. You'll take a market tour and then come back, and make (in our class) a tapa, a soup, paella, and dessert (cava wine with sorbet) and eat a delicious lunch from the cooked dishes. There are many other types of classes available. Paella pans at a very affordable price are available at the Taller, and the market has some of the Spanish ingredients that are so important: good oil, spices such as paprika and saffron. The market (Mercado de Triana) is fun to tour on its own and has an archeological find underneath dating back to the Spanish Inquisition that you can also tour. read more

This is one of the best experiences of coming to Seville! Maria and victor and our chef was absolutely amazing with organizing the flow and programming of the cooking lesson. Moreover, at 50 euros per person it is an absolute steal I tell you. From the amount of hours they spend to what is included for food and drink all the way to the amount of quality time and education they provide, it's worth coming again. In our class, we did the traditional chicken paella, spinach and chick peas and the gaspacho. We learned so much and got so involved with the whole cooking process, that time just went by quickly. Along the way we were given olives, crackers and sangria to eat and drink while Maria would run around all over to clean up and get ready for the next part of the cooking process all while sharing laughs and knowledge to fellow students. Maria is sneaky and will always top up your glass ;) Not only do you get to eat the delicious foods made from the freshest ingredients, but the recipes we learned are actually do-able in Canada! This is a small business that is getting a lot of exposure so it was great to get such an intimate exerperience. Even if you can't cook, the amount of high quality tasty food they feed you will justify making a trip to the market to partake in their class. Although it is geared towards tourists, they type of tourist you meet here are fun and energetic as well. Good food seems to make people happy. read more

If you visit Seville, take one of the Taller Andaluz de Cocina cooking classes. It will be one of the best, if not the best, memories you will have of Seville and Spain. It is more than a cooking class, it is a cultural experience. The class starts with a tour of the Mercado de Triana (Triana Food Market) given by Maria. As Anthony Bourdain often says, you can learn a lot about a city by visiting its central food market. The market includes more than a few items not typically found in American markets that will educate you on the local eating habits. You will also find a great selection of amazing Jamón (cured ham). After the tour the chef, Victor, leads a small, hands-on cooking class which includes the option of adult beverages (sangria, wine, and beer). Our lesson focused on making Paella but included Salmorejo (Andalucia classic cold tomato soup), Spinach with Chickpeas, and Lemon Sorbet with Cava for dessert. One of the great side benefits of this class is the opportunity to get the perspectives of Victor and Maria on just about any topic you want (although you will find most of the discussions are centered around food). My wife and I don't speak much Spanish, and this was a rare opportunity for us to speak with and learn from Sevillians. Additionally, we enjoyed hearing from other travelers about their experiences and plans in Spain. My wife and I were so inspired by this class that we made most of the dishes a day after we returned home to California. I made the Paella using my Weber BBQ and a new, four person Paella pan. My Paella came out great! The price of this class is very reasonable for what you get; it's a great value. I'd recommend making it one of the first things you do when visiting Seville. read more

I echo the rave reviews of others - I had a GREAT time in this cooking class and learned a lot in a unique, fun, relaxed environment. As others said, this is a steal of a price for a cooking class in the Mediterranean. Not only do you learn 4 courses, but you get plenty of sangria/wine, not to mention the delicious fruits of your labor AND a market tour. Both Maria and Victor are very kind, personable, informative and entertaining. Arranging the class itself could not have been easier via their website and their email confirmation. They also actually follow up and email you the recipes so you don't have to worry about writing things down during the class and can instead focus on DOING and observing. Throughout the class, Victor gives you tons of tips that will apply to cooking in general, as well as interesting info about the history of paella, misconceptions that have occurred in it's globalization, and how to find a good one if you are trying to order it when eating out. The location of this cooking class is also unique and fun as it is in one of the stalls (though completely clean and renovated for their purposes) of the historic triada mercado. In my class there was a family of 5 from England with adult kids, a family of 4 from the US with adult kids, and another solo traveler like myself from the US. It was a perfect size as we all had chances to do various tasks, to easily view Victor working his magic, and shared nice conversation and lots of laughs during the course. So the great company this class seems to attract is just icing on the cake! read more

This place was just amazing. I had to come here directly from my train and they had our station set up and ready to go for our late arrival (I pre-warned we may be late). They had even left a note for us in case they were on the market tour when we arrived. Maria and Victor are incredible. So nice and helpful and fun. Victor is very knowledgeable about his craft and answered a million of our random questions about the paella we were making, ingredients, substitutions, etc. I enjoy taking cooking classes at home and have never taken one THIS GOOD for THIS PRICE. An absolute steal. Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience! PS - There is plenty of sangria, beer, and wine throughout the class and the food we made was delicious! read more

Best decision made on our vacation! Decided not to buy any meaningless souvenirs instead brought back something useful and meaningful to my loved ones - Traditional Andalusian recipes. Which by the way, any of the recipes made in class are emailed to you, and makes for the best dinner gatherings back at home. Fun, interactive and incredibly affordable cooking experience with a knowledgeable chef that guides you to create flavorful spanish cuisine. Welcoming and unintimidating atmosphere for the novice or experienced cook, all are welcomed. You will gain cooking techniques that will improve your skills in any kitchen. You will also get to try the food you helped prep and cook afterwards with a glass of wine or sangria. The sweetest perk is the market tour. The market tour was informative as you pick up tidbits on what makes for quality and freshest ingredients in any spanish dish. These helpful tidbits will help you identify between a tourist trap restaurant and an authentic local favorite based off the ingredients found on certain spanish dishes. Taller Andaluz de Cocina is a staple for anyone wanting to learn to cook a traditional spanish dish! Don't hesitate to add any class to your itinerary. I only wish I added a couple extra classes to mine. Buen provecho! read more

Maria was a great host and Victor makes fabulous food! The class takes place in the Triana market - superb location! Had a fantastic time learning to cook a perfect and balanced meal .. Highly recommended! read more

If you're in Seville you will not regret spending some of your time here. The food is absolutely incredible and you'll learn a ton!

The most fun I had in Seville. While I was there to learn Spanish, Spanish cooking class here was the most fun I had with the Road Scholar group I traveled and learned with. We made Sal Morejo, Spinach with Chickpeas and Valencian Paella. They were all delicious and mostly easy to learn. I'll never be able to debone a chicken thigh the way our chef did though. read more

Do this! I took a cooking class here and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is pricey but takes up a good chunk of your day, keeps you out the June heat, and provides you with an educational experience. Our chef was from Lyon and spoke Australian English and our market guide was Spanish. We learned how to make salmorejo (chilled tomato soup similar to gazpacho but is creamier), chicken paella, and spinach and garbanzo beans. Outside of those 3 dishes, we got to try a lemon champagne sorbet dessert (that we didn't make) and sangria (that we didn't make). Other than the sangria, you're offered beer, wine or water to enjoy with your meal. Prior to cooking, you get a tour of the food market and learn what common spices, meats, ingredients are found in Spanish cuisine. I learned that the Spanish don't eat anything spicy and tend to enjoy sweeter flavors. For the cooking part, everyone in the your party plus the party that joins you work together to make the 1 dish that is then shared/divided amongst everyone. I was extremely full and was barely able to finish all my food. They were nice and let us bring home the leftover paella (typical Americans requesting a doggy bag). I will surely bring my parents along for this in the future. read more

Such a fun time!!! Signed up last minute and wow I was so surprised! We were taught to make many delicious local foods with all kinds of lessons on knifing and types of produce. And ate a lot. I left VERY FULL.!! So much fun and I would absolutely recommend to anyone! read more

This market tour and cooking class was a highlight of our trip to Seville. The instructors made it all so fun and informative and we met wonderful people from all over the world. It was very well-run and we were able to really experience what it's like to cook traditional food from this region. They were very sensitive to dietary needs too, and made separate dishes as needed. Highly recommend it. read more

Great experience! The whole family voted this the highlight of our Spain vacation! Easy, informative and lots of fun!

The Tapas class was a great way to get acquainted with the cooking of Southern Spain. Victor is a patient teacher who makes everyone in the class feel welcomed. I wish that we had the instructions during class so that we could make notes. Otherwise, it was a great experience! read more

Hands down one of the best experiences I've had in Spain! Victor is incredibly knowledgeable and personable! My parents and I learned a ton and ate a ton! It's a very elaborate class packed with information that's easy to process. The paella was also delicious!!!!! I'm so happy I randomly booked this! read more

What a wonderful introduction to Spanish cooking! Our class of 10 took a short tour of the Triana Mercado. Maria gave us a little history of the mercado while visiting the different stalls. It was nice to hear about the different foods used in a typical Spanish kitchen and other traditions. We then went around the corner to the lovely and bright Taller Andaluz de Cocina school. There, Chef Victor was waiting to teach and prepare our delicious Andalusian meal. Both Maria and Victor were very warm and made the class really fun. It was a nice break from site seeing and to learn a little more of Spain from locals. I would highly recommend a class at Taller Andaluz de Cocina, it will truly be one of your highlights on a visit to beautiful Spain. read more

Culinary highlight of my trip to Spain. Maria and Victor share their passion for Spanish cooking traditions and work with you to make some truly delicious food. Highly recommended, excited to try the recipes at home. read more

My husband and I took a private cooking class with Chef Juan at the Taller Andaluz de Cocina and it was fun and informative. The food was pretty great too! This is a fun, laid back environment. You get hands on experience in a lovely kitchen with highly qualified chefs. I'd do it again! read more

I've been studying in Seville for a month and I have to say this is likely one of the highlights of my trip. The staff was super professional and friendly and focused on making sure everyone had a great experienced. Great for beginners and experienced chefs alike; bring paper and pencil since you will want to write down all their great tips. Finally, the best part is that once you are done cooking you get to eat all the dishes. Really can't beat that gourmet cooking for the price. Highly recommended if you want to do something different in Seville and bring home some Spanish cooking with you! read more
