We had a great time and learned a lot about basque cooking. We made several dishes, tasted wines of the area as well as Cider and enjoyed eating all the dishes we prepared. It was a very relaxed environment, we made new friends and had all our questions answered about visiting the area. Everything was well organized and ready to go when we arrived. We would do it again!

Our chef was fantastic. He shared his personal experiences, notable food history, and the significance of the food we prepared and ate together. This experience inspired us to make cooking classes a tradition when we travel.

Great
Loved the guide, very informative and Mattin was great! Would have been good to do a little more cooking and explain a little more about Basque Cheesecake. The cooking is all done at once, not everyone has a bowl etc, just one bowl so not everyone gets a chance to do everything.

Hector was a knowledgeable and engaging host between our party of six and another group of four—the kitchen layout could’ve made that challenging, but he made sure to pull everyone together. The chef (so sorry I don’t recall his name!) was gracious and patient with our varying levels of comfort and competence. The meal was tasty, and the overall experience was well-timed without feeling rushed.
