Informative, fun and great food - Really enjoyed the class. It’s highly informative, you cook some great food, drink some nice drinks, get to know some new people, and it’ll make you laugh. Carlos is a great host, and very knowledgeable about cooking, food, the basque county and probably a host of other things.

Can’t recommend this experience enough ! - Really good day, chilled and laughed a lot. ‘Chef’ makes everyone feel involved. The market element was a real eye opener for us to what ‘fresh food’ should be the history behind the famers, the food the process was intriguing.
My group of 4 loved it and I’d love to go back personally for a ‘challenging’ lesson as promised . The cooking venue is perfect !!
Can’t wait buddy see you soon

Cheesecake Heaven & a great all round experience - Carlos has created a fabulous Basque cooking experience in his extraordinary kitchen. The market tour is excellent .. enhanced by all the little pieces of information from Carlos. The flavours & tastes of the menu were delicious. The menu is quite simple with few complexities and it would be remiss not to mention how good the cheesecake actually is - there is one special ingredient that sets it apart from others. Carlos is a great guy & hosts the experience with a good sense of humour & knowledge. The cider & wine pairing was also a great component of the day.

What an experience! - Carlos and Luis were a delight to be around. Carlos was very charismatic and had a wealth of knowledge about the local cuisine.
We started with a tour of the market and got to know local vendors and the various products that they sold. We also learned some tips on how to properly shop for seafood! Carlos’s cooking class was set up and organized really well. They have an amazing space that is super organized and a great dining area where you get to eat what you cook! We even learned how to pour the local drink called txakoli ourselves! The cooking class was very fun and informative. We can’t wait to replicate the dishes we learned how to make at home.

This cooking class was... - This cooking class was the highlight of my trip to San Sebastián. It was hands-on, led by a knowledgeable instructor, and thoughtfully adapted to accommodate my no-red-meat diet. The cheesecake was both delicious and surprisingly easy to make. I’m hoping to receive the recipes soon, and if I get the chance, I would definitely take more classes with them.
