Excellent
A small group (10 people) met in a restaurant kitchen with 2 chefs. I learned a new technique for making an authentic Spanish sauce.

Excellent instruction. Mikel and Natalia were a great chef team! We learned lots of tips for cooking a few of our favorite Basque recipes as well as interesting insights into the local cider and wines. Mikel’s sense of humor kept us laughing. Thanks so much!

Great experience. We both had a great time in this cooking class. The chefs were brilliant and we had such a lovely small group. While it wasn't a super hands on class as we cooked four different meals, my partner and I really enjoyed learning about Basque cuisine, drinking local wines and experiencing the Basque hospitality. We really appreciated being given the recipes after the class - our link stopped working but after messaging the company a few weeks later, they sent the recipes to us straight away! Would recommend to anyone to top off their San Sebastian visit.
