Cooking Point

A Spanish cooking school in the Barrio de las Letras with paella and tapas classes in English, Monday to Saturday, cooking in pairs.

Cooking Point is a cooking school in central Madrid that teaches Spanish recipes to travellers and locals. It is on Calle Moratín, in the Barrio de las Letras, a step from Antón Martín metro and the market of the same name, where its morning class begins.

A neighbourhood kitchen founded in 2013

It was opened in 2013 by Eduardo, a Madrileño who left engineering and marketing to teach the dishes he learned from his mother. Today the team is made up of cooks born or raised in Madrid, some with restaurant backgrounds and others with a past as guides, who tell the story of each dish as you cook. The premises have a single large kitchen, set up like a home one, with burners for each pair and capacity for 24 people.

What a session is like

Classes are given in English and require no experience. You always cook in pairs: if you come alone, you are paired with another pupil. The price includes ingredients, the lunch or dinner you prepare yourself, drinks, a booklet of recipes and, in the paella class, the market shopping. They adapt to vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, alcohol-free or halal diets if you say so when booking, and refund the full amount if you cancel up to 24 hours beforehand. Children may come with an adult who watches over them the whole time, and ages 5 to 12 have a reduced price.
