Meet Paula

Hola! I'm Paula Mas Boned. Long before I became a cook or founded Soqueta Experiences, my world was shaped around my grandparents' kitchen. I learned to cook the traditional way: no written recipes, no rigid measurements. Just watching the hands of my grandmother Catalina and my grandfather Tomeu, whom everyone in our village affectionately called "Soqueta." My connection to Majorcan food culture isn't a career choice or a business concept; it is the life I have lived and the heritage I continue to live every single day. Growing up on this island, I watched the beauty of those long, unhurried summer lunches where the whole street gathered around a shared table with fresh bread and tomatoes.

Building upon my grandfather's beautiful legacy, I started Soqueta because I deeply believe that cooking is fundamentally our cultural way of connecting and sharing. For us, the kitchen isn't just about food; it is a space to break down barriers, tell stories, and bring people together. This is why I open the doors of my actual family home in Sant Jordi, surrounded by our historic windmills, a home to share. You can explore all our cooking experiences in Palma de Mallorca and choose the one that feels right for your group.

Whether we are choosing seasonal ingredients together from the vendors I've known my whole life at the Mercat de l'Olivar market tour, or gathering in my kitchen for an authentic cooking experience in Mallorca, my goal is to show you the island through the eyes of someone who truly belongs to it.

Our cooking workshops in Palma de Mallorca are a profound celebration of our identity and roots. Every dish we prepare is our way of honoring our local products, our culture, and the dedicated farmers who work this land with love and respect. We roll up our sleeves, pour the wine, and cook by touch, smell, and intuition, bridging cultures through the universal language of the kitchen. There is a beautiful magic when people from all corners of the world sit down at my table and recreate my grandfather's exact methods, proving that our heritage is alive, breathing, and still creating deep, human connections.

When you step into my kitchen, you become part of a living story. We sit down for that endless, unscripted sobremesa, where hours disappear and strangers become family. If you have questions before booking, our FAQ page covers everything you need to know.

“Welcome to my home. Welcome to Mallorca.”
