Going Above and Beyond for a Class - I was very excited about this class, and booked it several months in advance. What I failed to do was to double check the dates, and I booked it for the wrong month. When my group showed up at the meeting point, and didn't see Maria, we called her, and discovered my error. And yes, it was my error. Maria didn't hesitate for a second to teach us the class that night. I was shocked, because within 7 minutes, we were picked up and taken to her house. She could have easily said no, and I would not have blamed her. This set the stage for the wonderful evening ahead. We were dressed in our aprons, and given easy to do tasks while talking about the foods, culture and whatever we wanted to talk about. I have done cooking classes several times, and really enjoyed this evening. I learned some new things, ate wonderful food, spent time in the kitchen, but most of all, I enjoyed myself as a guest in Maria's home. She is a gracious, friendly and knowledgeable teacher, and I highly recommend a class if you are in Quito

Delicious - Thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class, meeting Maria and her family. We made a couple of simple dishes (was given the choice of what to make) and picked up and dropped off by her husband from my hotel in the city. Always nice to engage with locals and sharing food is a bonus.
