KNOW US

We’re Pedro, Lara, and Ana — three different personalities brought together by one shared belief: food is meant to be shared.

Pedro is the culinary mind behind ORYZA. A chef and cooking trainer with years of experience in gastronomy and education, he approaches rice with both passion and precision. He believes in technique — starting with a proper sofrito, respecting the product, understanding the process, and letting time do its work. His goal isn’t just that you cook a good rice — it’s that you understand why it works.

Lara is the soul of La Clandestina de Poblenou, the creative space that hosts our workshops. With a deep love for art, culture, and community, she creates the atmosphere that makes each session feel intimate and welcoming. Thanks to her, Oryza has a home with character.

Ana is the energy that keeps everything flowing. From preparation to organization, she ensures that every detail is taken care of. Friendly, efficient, and always present, she helps transform the workshop into a smooth, relaxed experience.

Together, we’ve created Oryza as a space where quality ingredients, solid technique, and human connection meet. Our workshops are designed to be professional but never pretentious, relaxed but never careless.

If you value good food, good company, and experiences with substance, you’ll feel at home at our table.

We’d love to cook with you.
