Great

It was a fun evening and we both really enjoyed it. Lovely to pick up good tips for making some of Basque region’s favourite dishes & we will definitely use them in the future but we felt it was more of a cooking demonstration.

A group of strangers met and left as friends after all having a great time. Hector was a good informative and entertaining teacher. He threw in tips and secrets that made Basque cooking make sense. Happy and satisfied.
