Private Barcelona Market Tour & Rooftop Paella Cooking Class with Nicole

Meet Nicole:

Nicole is an American chef who has called Spain home since 2007. A graduate of the Michelin-accredited Hofmann Culinary School, she blends her 15 years of teaching experience with her passion for Spanish cuisine to offer warm, informative, and hands-on cooking classes. She guides guests through a delicious culinary journey—discovering local ingredients, learning authentic techniques, and preparing traditional Spanish and Catalan dishes. Nicole first learned to cook paella and fideuà when she moved to Spain, later refining her skills at Hofmann and returning in 2022 for an intensive three-month course dedicated entirely to rice. Today, she loves welcoming travelers from around the world into her kitchen and showing them how food connects people across cultures. Nicole is excited to share the tips, tricks, and traditions behind making the perfect paella and fideuà so guests can recreate these iconic dishes at home.
