The best: the market visit - Carlos moves around the market like fish in the water. The relationship with market people is another level. They take their time to explain and it has been spectacular. When we're done, we went to school to cook. Everything is delicious. To repeat!

Amazing Basque Cuisine Experience - Experience 100% recommended. At the beginning we find ourselves in the old part and we made a visit to the traditional market together with Carlos, the chef and guide, a very friendly, patient person who demonstrates a real vocation to what he does. We strolled through the fish and organic vegetable stands, the products we selected were of the highest quality, we were surprised! Then we headed towards Kookin, when we entered we loved not only the space but also how everything was prepared so that we could all conduct the class in a comfortable and orderly way. We cook 4 recipes! and all taste them! It was my first time serving cider and tasting txacoli, we were delighted. The clarity of Carlos and his team to explain and make dynamic the experience is of the most remarkable values, as well as achieving that we can cook everything with our own hands! Finally we tasted the famous cheesecake, which although I had already tasted in the other traditional sites of Donosti, this was not only the richest and creamiest I tasted but we made it between all. The experience is an 11/10, highly recommended and during our stay in Donosti we will sign up for one of the classes they offer! Thank you very much to Carlos and all his team, we were delighted!

WORTH IT! - Carlos our teacher was very welcoming. We really appreciated his history on San Sebastian and the marketplaces as we purchased our groceries for the class. The class was great, working in pairs, wasn't rushed, clean and organised. Carlos was a great teacher and happy to answer all questions. My husband who cant cook enjoyed it too. Wine pairing with the meal was a nice touch too. We would highly recommend this class.

Great cooking class! - I did this Spanish cooking workshop with my 12-year old son. It was just perfect: the location, the kitchen with all the appliances and ustensils you could dream of, the recipes and the tasting. Carlos is an amazing chef and teacher. I loved everything we cooked (Paella, Gaspacho, cheese flan) and specially the potatoes bravas!!! Thank you so much Cookin Donosti for this great time in your beautiful city!
