Wowed by Gourmet Chefs - Each of the six of us were given a cooking assignment, but they were nice, allowing us to switch around and experience doing the various recipes. Once completed we sat down to a testy and aesthetically pleasing meal. We left with a much greater appreciation for gourmet chefs!

Wowed by Gourmet Chefs - We were wowed by the experience we had and have gained a greater appreciation for gourmet chefs. Each of the six of us were given a certain assignment, but then were allowed to switch with others to see how other dishes were done. When completed we sat done to a beautiful four course meal and had fun tasting all the great taste delights.

Fabulous cooking class with Sam - The cooking class with Sam was fantastic! He is a professionally trained chef who has worked at high-end places around the world and has come to San Miguel to open a hotel and restaurant where he also offers cooking classes. The menu we made was “fancy” Mexican and was delicious. The food was also beautiful! Sam was patient, helpful, and fun. I highly recommend the experience!

Don't Miss This Amazing Experience! - Five us (various ages) went to Sam's cooking class. We all loved it. Sam is fun to spend time with and food was amazing. We only wish we had done it earlier during our vacation so we could have gone back to his restaurant for dinner. I've taken a LOT of cooking classes, and Sam's is my favorite!!!

Unique and creative dishes by a Stella chef - Sam led us on a creative journey making 3 unique dishes with techniques we had never seen. It was fantastic - he is a truly talented chef and was a great teacher for us. The wine pairing at our lunch when we were finished was excellent as well.
