Customer Reviews

We did this cooking class almost a year ago and STILL talk about how fantastic it was! We loved getting a tour of the local market and hearing about the generations of butchers who have worked there and how they care for the animals that provide us so much nourishment! Walking around the city was a great way to relax before making a fabulous meal! We made an egg omelette and then a steak dinner with the local red peppers that are so beyond delicious I can’t even describe their sweet caramelized flavor! The basque cheesecake steels the show though! Talk about a grand finale to the meal! Highly recommend taking the time to do this class!!

It was such a fun class! We had excellent instructors who were thorough and patient and fun, the food was delicious and paired with cider and wines. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would absolutely take this class again!

My wife and I joined Carlos and our fabulous team when we visited beautiful Donostia in early July. What a wonderful experience it turned out to be. The experience of 1st visiting the market to learn about the origins of the food we were to cook was 1st rate. Carlos' passion and knowledge were evident. We both learnt new cooking skills and enjoyed the dishes paired with lovely local wines. Great fun in a great location and fantastic staff guiding us.
