Fantastic Fun! - What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! We absolutely loved making each of the dishes they tasted fab too! The chef and Hector were great and really helped us get involved with all the cooking. The drinks with each course were delicious too. It was awesome to get some recommendations of local restaurants and dishes! We can’t wait to try and make some of the dishes back home too!

A wonderful pinto is tour and cooking class - Hector was able to bring San Sebastián alive for our group. His choice of wines and Pintxos was excellent. He also guided me through a comprehensive cooking class with skill and patience. Hector’s knowledge of the Basque lifestyle and customs added so much to my tour.

Wonderful experience - Fantastic way to spend an evening. Miguel and the other chef (I don’t recall her name :>( sorry) were wonderful. The food wine and cider were great. And you get to try a great basques cheesecake recipe. Highly recommend this as a thing to do in Donastia.

Excellent instruction and delicious meal - 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.

San Sebastián cooking class - We had a wonderful time! Osani (?) our chef and Mikal were informative and entertaining. The food was delicious and a good time was had by all. We enjoyed an extra treat by the change in venue to a private dinner club!
