Meet Elena

Elena is a passionate culinary expert trained at the Escuela Superior de Hostelería de Sevilla, with over 25 years of experience in some of Spain’s top kitchens. Specializing in authentic Andalusian cuisine, she loves sharing the rich culinary traditions of her region with travelers. In her welcoming home, Elena offers a unique and intimate cooking class that allows guests to experience the history, culture, and cuisine of Seville.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

In-home meal: (2-10 guests) Elena will welcome you into her beautifully preserved 1929 home in Seville’s Nervión district for an intimate Andalusian dinner experience. Join this passionate local chef for an authentic Spanish home dining experience, where you’ll discover the flavors, culture, and culinary traditions of southern Spain. Enjoy a seasonal, home-cooked Andalusian meal prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and paired with carefully selected Spanish wines.

Depending on the season, your menu may include traditional favorites such as cheese board or croquettes, salmorejo (a chilled soup from Córdoba) or Spanish tortilla (omelet), paella with Iberian pork or chickpeas with spinach and desert. This Seville food experience in a local home offers travelers a unique opportunity to enjoy authentic Spanish cuisine, warm hospitality, and a deeper connection to the city’s rich culinary culture.

Cooking experience: (2-10 guests) Discover Seville through an intimate cooking class in Elena’s historic private villa. In this 2-hour hands-on Seville cooking experience, learn to prepare two classic Andalusian dishes from scratch under the guidance of a professional chef. Take home family recipes, insider tips, and culinary skills to recreate these dishes in your own kitchen. Start the experience with a welcome cocktail and tapas, then join Elena in her home kitchen to make Spanish tortilla (omelet) or soup and paella with Iberian pork or spinach with chickpeas. After cooking, sit down to enjoy the dishes you helped prepare in a warm, intimate setting.

This authentic Seville cooking class is perfect for travelers seeking unique things to do in Seville, offering a memorable way to connect with Andalusian cuisine, culture, and culinary traditions.
