Basque Kookin class - the best !! - This was one of the highlights of our stay in San Sebastian/Donostia. Our chef Carlos took us to the local market where he explained the history and the produce before purchasing what we were going to use in the class. We were lucky to have a small class of four and the interaction was great. The cooking experience was for all from private chefs to home cooks. The food and wine was very generous and would highly recommended. We would love to go back for many more courses but Australia is a little too far. The price is up there but for the money you have a cooking class, wine and a four course lunch with a priceless experience.

Fun culinary experience - Enjoyed a fun morning with Carlos. Visited the local market where we purchased local fish and meat for our lunch. Under Carlos’s supervision prepared a scrumptious meal paired with wines and cider which we sat down to enjoy. Highly recommend.

Fun Basque experience - Fun Basque experience. Going to market to pick out the protein was the highlight. Love the creative branding with the spelling of Kookin.

Great value and fun! - If you're looking for a quality tour that is of great value, then look no further! Chef Carlos is equally an expert and friendly. One of the dishes I made was better than I had in the restaurant! This is a must do when in San Sebastian.

Fun Cooking Experience! - Such an amazing experience! Carlos and Molina took us to the market and explained what ingredients we were going to use and then how to pick them out. Did you know that fish mongers have tricks to make their fish more attractive? Also I learned that using fresh, local ingredients is key to making a wonderful Basque dish. Carlos is a friendly great teacher and has a wonderful , comfortable set up. He pairs wine and sidra (hard d cider) with each course. This was well worth the time and the cost. We will be using what we learned and experience at home. Highly recommend!

Oh what fun! - Our family (including our 16-month-old grandson) had the absolute pleasure of spending our second day in San Sebastián with Carlos visiting the market and cooking Basque cuisine. Our expectations were exceeded! Carlos was the perfect host/chef/tour guide; he graciously welcomed us and met our needs (particularly given our grandson), efficiently, clearly, and with a touch of humor, shared cooking techniques and, most surprisingly introduced us to the rich history of San Sebastián and its markets. To top it off, the food we prepared, under his direction, was delicious (and grandson approved😉). We highly recommend Carlos and the Basque cuisine experience.
