Excellent
We had a wonderful time at our cooking class with our chef, Carlos.
We were a nice small group of 7. Carlos was engaging and entertaining.
The food we prepared and the wine we drank were wonderful.
And we all had our turn pouring cider into our glass.
My husband and I would recommend the Basque cooking class in San Sebastián and Carlos as your chef.

Our guide (Carlos) was very nice and told us a lot about Basque food culture. The dishes we prepared were delicious, but they were so simple that we didn't really learn anything new.

This was a great event. In large part due to the chef Alberto who was a pleasure to be with, really enjoyable, friendly, and funny. His recipes were both delicious and easy to follow. Highly recommend Alberto and this experience.

We had a fantastic time at this cooking class in San Sebastián! We learned how to make several Basque favorites, including Gildas, txistorra, tortilla, and Basque cheesecake. Everything we made was delicious, and the class was both fun and informative. The atmosphere was relaxed and engaging, and we had a great time cooking, eating, and learning about Basque cuisine. The experience also included plenty of local drinks, including cider, txakoli, and Rioja wine.
