Meet vendors who sell high quality, locally-sourced meat, fish, cheese, and produce and purchase local ingredients like squid or peppers for your paella from Josh's favorite vendors. Learn about the difference between Catalonian and Spanish cultures and about specialty ingredients important to the local diet; in particular, cured acorn-fed Iberian ham. Then walk to Josh's cooking studio to begin your cooking lesson and meal.
Here in a modern, professional-grade kitchen and classic 1800s-style Barcelona dining room chop fruit to prepare sangria! Josh will then show you how to prepare seafood for your paella.
