Excellent small group cooking class. - Brilliant cooking class with everyone joining in. Guide/Chef Danny was excellent in guiding us through the methods of each dish and providing more into the history origins of the food. The kitchen was amazing and had plenty to drink as well.

Fun and informative! - Very informative, delicious, and fun. Danny made the local food so accessible and coached us through making our own croquettas. With nonstop commentary and history, we have a new appreciation for Spanish cuisine.

Incredible - The experience was INCREDIBLE. Dan (Daniel) was fantastic - everyone was laughing, enjoying themselves, and loving the “vibe” of the environment. Dan did great talking us through each step, utilizing different individuals for different parts of preparation and cooking, and making us all feel welcome! 10/10 recommend to anyone else wanting to do this experience - I’d also specifically recommend Dan.

Great experience - We spent a wonderful few hours in the company of Arantxa today who took us first to a local market. We enjoyed hearing about locally sourced food and Arantxa’s ethos of buying local to ensure the benefits stay within the community. She then took us to a beautiful private restaurant where we utilised the attached kitchen for the class. The facility was an easy space to move around to participate and watch the progress. We received exactly what was describe on the website with clear instructions and plenty of good humour. Arantxa is a very skilled and passionate about what she does, cooking and teaching. The meal was delicious as was the accompanying wine. I would highly recommend this tour.

Fun experience with great food, wine and instruction from Arantxa! - A great class with our host Arantxa (Cordon Blue trained chef) who was so great and entertaining. I learned a lot and this was a class that is good for beginners or someone looking to add to their skills.
