    Our experience with Alberto was wonderful! It started with a very informative tour of La Boqueria. I had avoided visiting this market because of its touristy reputation, but after Alberto's tour of many of its wonders, I am eager to return and explore further. After we had purchased some fresh produce, we walked a short distance to their cooking classroom and patio. We began preparing the food for our multi-course luncheon. Alberto included us in every step of the preparation showing us proper chopping techniques and gave us a variety of other cooking tips. He was very personable, and we immediately felt like we were in our friend's kitchen. While we prepared the meal we were able to learn about life in Barcelona. Our meal started with an amazing charcuterie board with quality ibérica hams, sharp and mild cheeses, olives, homemade sauerkraut, sour dough bread and, of course, wine. This was followed by our fish course of crispy sardines and shrimp on basil aioli and baked baby potatoes. The final course was an amazing beef tenderloin cooked sous-vide and accompanied by a parsnip puree and braised artichoke hearts. It was delicious!! We were very impressed with the quality of this experience. We learned so much about Spanish food and culture in a very comfortable setting with a generous friend. We strongly recommend this tour to others who want an opportunity to experience Spanish food culture in a comfortable setting with a knowledgeable and very friendly host.

    We actually had Alberto come to our location and cook the paella. He was on time and professional right from the start. He knows exactly what he's doing and what he needs to get things handled. This is refreshing for me because I know I don't need to babysit the chef's activities while managing 30 other people who all require my attention simultaneously. I will certainly look to Alberto the next time we require similar services and would recommend him to anyone who needs a pro to manage the culinary needs of their wishes. Bravo to Alberto and his partner in crime as everyone at our event was impressed.
