Top Zaragoza Cooking Classes

Jorge was an excellent guide for this cooking experience. He was welcoming and fluent in English, but we chose to speak Spanish for the duration of the tour. Jorge met me promptly in front of the market and he was able to tailor the tour to my liking. He explained the background of the market and the ingredients we were purchasing in an engaging manner. We took a short walk to the cooking space and Jorge shared some history of Zaragoza along the way. Preparing the regional food together in the kitchen was one of the highlights of my trip and everything we made turned out delicious. I appreciated that he shared the recipes with me afterwards. I highly recommend booking an experience with Jorge.

The four hours we spent with Jorge breezed by and everything about our experience was top notch. Learning about Spanish produce in the market was fascinating, the cooking part was lots of fun, and the food was delicious. If we were to return to Zaragoza, I'd look at Rutica 41's website and pick several tours because it is clear that these folks really care about what they're doing, prioritize the customer's experience, and love their city.

Jorge was a fantastic host for a fun Spanish cooking class. We gathered fresh ingredients from the market and enjoyed making a Spanish omelette and lamb paella together. We laughed, learned and enjoyed the whole experience!

Jorge was an excellent guide. He walked me through the historic market of Zaragoza and showed me the typical food of the region. It was fun to experience the vendors at work and see all the fresh ingredients for the meal we were going to prepare together. Jorge chose dishes that were both delicious and feasible to prepare at home. I enjoyed helping him prep and cook while having an engaging conversation about the food and culture of Spain. I would definitely recommend this adventure while in Zaragoza.

The cooking class was truly one of the best memories of our trip to Zaragoza.Jorge first took us to the large market hall, where we bought our ingredients. He explained a lot about the history and background of the market.Afterwards, we went to a really well-equipped cooking school where we prepared the ingredients and cooked the dishes.

Jorge was a brilliant guide. We began with a capsule history of the city, proceeded to make market purchases for lunch (with explanations along the way), and made our way to his well-equipped chef’s kitchen to prepare our meal. Utter pleasure talking and eating and learning … accompanied by good wines. Jorge gave us more than his allotted time — such a good guy, and such a wonderful experience. If you find yourself wondering, Why did I come to Zaragoza?, this is your answer. Highly recommended.

Jorge was really friendly and knowledgeable about the local food. Generous with his time, engaged in the cooking lesson. His passion for Spanish food was clear and left us with a better understanding and appreciation of Spanish and specifically Aragon’s cuisine and the food was delicious

I had an incredible time cooking with Jorge. From the moment we met, he made me feel completely welcome. We started with a visit to the local market, where he carefully picked out the freshest local produce and shared stories about the ingredients and regional traditions, it was already a cultural experience before we even started cooking.In the kitchen, Jorge struck the perfect balance between professionalism and approachability. His instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who isn’t a seasoned chef. Every dish we made was absolutely delicious and really brought out the flavors of Zaragoza and Aragonese cuisine. From an amazing Paella to a Spanish omelette, Fantastico !You can genuinely taste the local culture in every bite fresh vegetables, rich flavors, and traditional techniques made accessible. On top of all that, Jorge is just a fantastic host: warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. This wasn’t just a cooking class; it was a cultural immersion I won’t forget anytime soon.

What a great way to spend a day, learning how to make a number of Aragonese/Spanish dishes, including lamb paella, Fritata, Tomato Salad, Torrega and Borage with Potato tapa. We also visited the mercado to select key ingredients and understand its historical place in the city. Jorge was a fun and informative teacher!

This is a not to be missed experience. From the get go, Jorge was a delight. We chatted before going to the market to choose fresh in-season vegetables for tapas and amazing lamb and ground pork for paella. On the short walk to the cooking school, Jorge shared history about Spain and the Zaragoza area. We also stopped for fresh bread to accompany the feast. Once at the cooking school we continued to enjoy delightful conversation and preparation of the amazing meal. Wine accompanied the prep and enjoyment of the meal. It was lovely to see people come into the shop and interact with Jorge. He had is a much loved and respected member of this community. Without a doubt, this “foodie” experience goes far beyond others that we have enjoyed. Jorge…you are a TOP chef. Mucho Gracias 🇪🇸🇪🇸 Dixie & Pat

Fantastic, personalized, friendly, and tasty Spanish meal. 100% all-round. Highly recommend to anyone

Jorge was amazing! I learned so much about cooking and the food of Spain. I came home and my first two days Home made the Spanish Omelette and Paella for my family. The recipes we’re so easy to replicate with George’s instruction. My family loved both meals! George also included incredible wine with each course. The class didn’t just include cooking. I was also informed about history, architecture and culture. It was amazing. Jorge and Marta are the best! I really liked that they did not cancel tour because I was the only English speaker. I had a one on one tour. Wow. Just wow. Don’t pass up any Rutica 41 tours.
