The experience
What makes Andalusian food different from the paella and sangria most tourists encounter? This class answers that question by walking you through the real dishes people eat at home. You start by picking ingredients at a traditional food market in Seville, learning which products matter and why. Then you move to a private home to cook with someone who has spent 45 years working in the food sector, not a restaurant chef performing for a class, but someone who knows the everyday cooking of the region.
The workshop itself is hands-on. You'll prepare salmorejo, the fresh vegetable dish that defines Andalusian cooking, alongside tuna with onions from the Cadiz coast, olives, regañá bread, tomato salad, and cheese in olive oil. A homemade dessert or fresh fruit closes the meal. The cook guides you through each step, and at the end you receive a recipe book so you can make these dishes at home. The whole experience runs about five hours, including hotel pickup and drop-off, water, and the lunch you've cooked yourself.
The class is private, so the pace and focus stay on what you want to learn. The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French and one additional language, so there's no translation barrier. Alcoholic beverages from the Andalusia region are included, which means you taste local wines and sherries as part of understanding the food.
Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Youth (13 to 17 years); Child (6 to 12 years): free; Infant (under 6): free.
What's the difference between salmorejo and gazpacho, and why does it matter in Seville?
Salmorejo is a thicker, creamier version of gazpacho made from tomatoes and bread, topped with jamón and egg. It's the signature dish of Seville and the one you'll learn to make in this class: the version locals actually eat, not the thin cold soup tourists often encounter.
Do I need cooking experience to join this class?
No. The class is designed to teach you Andalusian cooking from the ground up, and the guide works with whatever skill level you bring. The focus is on learning the real recipes and techniques, not on proving you already know how to cook.
Why do we go to the market before cooking?
The market visit is part of the education. You learn which ingredients matter for authentic Andalusian dishes, how to select them, and why freshness and quality change the final dish. It's the first step in understanding how local cooks actually work.
Will I have time to eat what we cook?
Yes. After you finish preparing the dishes, you sit down and eat the meal you've made, with local wines and drinks included. The five-hour class includes time for cooking, eating, and learning.
Can the guide accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?
The class is private, so you can discuss any dietary needs when you book. The guide can adjust the dishes or ingredients to work with restrictions, since you're selecting the products at the market and cooking in a home kitchen.
