Well-invested hours with educational content - The cooking class was fantastic! It was my first cooking class, alone and in a foreign country. I was warmly welcomed and introduced to the other participants. It was a harmonious one with each other. The course taught me many tips and tricks. Through him I got to know a wide variety of tapas in the preparation and taste. I also liked the live music very much. Thank you for the good evening!

Great experience in a truly traditional kitchen - We had a very nice evening. There were only two of us, as no one else had registered at the time. The course took place anyway and we had the full attention and were able to get all the more involved with cooking and the story about tapas. Again and again Thank you very much

Fun family experience! - Fun night of cooking for us and learning some new Spanish dishes that we can make at home now. Our two girls (8 and 9) were able to help with all the prep and also making the food.

Tasty fun evening - Great evening of cooking and eating. My husband and I learned to cook tapas with Fred our guide and translator(with perfect english). Also the professional chef who showed us what to do. Both were professional, well organised and very friendly. We made 6 different tapas, we got to be hands in the whole way. We learnt a lot of the history of the tapas and Spanish history along the way. We then got to eat them with a Sangria. They were all delicious. The secreto of pork was my favourite. A lovely way to spend an evening.

Cute experience with... - Cute experience with a cook who speaks only Spanish and follows you step by step in the recipes. While the speaker translates into English. Very hospitable. There were 4 of us and we divided the execution of the dishes very easy and quick to perform. In the end we even enjoyed them.
