A fantastic experience. Highly recommend! - This cooking class was such a fun experience for me and my family. Lola made sure everyone was included in the cooking of the food. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Drinks were offered during the class such as water, wine, and beer. We got to eat what we cooked and it was fantastic. Our class made paella with squid, fish, Russian salad, and croquettes. At the end we enjoyed drinks while just talking and sharing stories. Lola had shared a hilarious story of how a Celebrity British chef united all of Spain against him because he added chorizo to paella. Lola was an excellent teacher and very kind to everyone. I would highly recommend taking this class. Treat yourself!
