Basque Cooking: Family Affair - Our family loves to cook and some of us are more about the cooking and some more about the eating! We got both. The presentation was lovely and the set up perfect for the time we were there. We loved visiting the market and picking out fresh food to prepare. Carlos and his staff were skilled and friendly and made the activity very fun. We learned new cooking techniques and made some delicious dishes. We would highly recommend and would do it again with this company. Thank you. Thank you.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE - This was one of the best days of our recent stay in San Sebastian. We were taken to the local market to buy produce - where as well as being interesting, we learnt a lot too. We then went back to the studio to cook. Carlos and his team are superb hosts and we had a lot of fun and excellent food and drink.
One of the best excursions I have every done! Fabulous!

Fun, Food, Family - Thoroughly a delight. From start to finish, an education that one can only get from a pro with a warm personality and passion for his craft. Go…. Do not hesitate.

Good experience - The experience is very good, the organizer gave us hands-on experience on cooking. The communication needs improvement. I went to the meeting location instructed on the voucher, when I didn't see anyone there, I had to contact the organizer, I was given a new location, thank God it was a short walk to the new location.

Excellent cooking experience in San Sebastián! - It was a super cool idea to do that with your partner. We didn’t know exactly what we were getting into, but it was extremely fun to buy the ingredients first, get explained and then cook them. The studio was totally beautiful and modern and brightly decorated. We could always cut things in pairs, fry them etc. Carlos was a very nice boss who was super relaxed and also fun. It was definitely a great and new experience we can only recommend!

Market tour and cooking classe - As someone who loves to cook, this was a very fun class and extremely informative. Going through the market to collect and learn about the ingredients was a real plus over other cooking classes I have done. The recipes were straightforward and are certainly replicable in any home kitchen. Carlos and his team are very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. If you are looking for an experience beyond the typical pinxto crawl this is certainly one to do.

We were 5 minutes late and they left without us. - We were 5 minutes late. They need to fix the fact that Google and Apple Maps take you 5 blocks away from the meeting point. We left the Maria Christina at 20 til for an 8 minute walk. We asked at least 5 people for directions.
We finally found the meeting point at 5 after 10 AM. They had left.
