Description

Good to Know

This is a very unique activity because all products are directly sourced from around a village in the Castilla La Mancha area of rural Spain. Nothing served comes from city supermarkets, all from local farms. Congratulations for responsible travel & supporting local family farmers around this small village (pop. 67). I’m Paul your private chef who travelled, cooked & ate my way around Spain. Typical dishes could be 25 day old baby lamb or pig, or bulls tail slowly cooked for 8 hours in wine n herbs from the land. Even River fish, or La Mancha egg plants, vegetables from my garden. I cook to Michelin star standard but I will never want a Michelin star as I refuse to work in a restaurant. I love cooking in this hidden village in small, or private groups. I cook in my private home by the 10th century castle. I’ll connect the dishes to the history of the African people who built the castle over 1000 years ago: La Mancha Spanish farm cuisine with an Air of African Arabic influence.

Fantastic experience with a private chef

If you do just one tour while in Madrid, make it this one. It’s easily the best tour we’ve experienced in many years. The small group size (just four people) made it feel personal and relaxed. The hosts were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and exceptionally knowledgeable. The food was outstanding—fresh, locally sourced from the village and surrounding valley, and a true highlight of the experience. A special thank you to Paul, Ian, and Juan for creating a truly unforgettable memory.

Amazing, Informative Experience

Paul and Juan were amazing hosts and tour guides from pick up to drop off over 5 hours later. The food was outstanding. Paul should have his own TV cooking show.

Well curated experience

This was a really well designed and delivered experience. Paul was in touch before the day and even offered us the chance to join with another group which unfortunately we couldn’t do due to timing. So we went ahead as booked. Ian met us and took us to their apartment. Everything was set up and ready to go. Ian and Juan talked us through each of the drinks and food we were about to have. We really appreciated knowing the what and why (and also what to look out for when we went to buy more for ou...read more

A really great introduction to Spanish food

Delicious charcuterie & good selection of wines . Intimate tasting in his private flat by the Retiro Park. We also meet some really nice people who we hung out with afterwards. Amazing value for money and Í would say try and do it when you arrive as he has some great advice to get the best out of your stay
