Wonderful evening out! Erik and Ava are so lovely, friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Erik gives a fantastic insight into the local culture and how the history links to different foods and wines with a light hearted entertaining delivery. Ava expertly guides you through preparing the wonderful dishes, teaching the techniques and suggesting alternatives for different tastes. The main course is slow cooked to perfection in advance and served with delicious local wine. Our fellow guests were also great, it was a pleasure to spend the evening in such a beautiful village with great company!

The Perfect Day in Tenerife! Authentic Mojo, Magical History, and Masterclass Hosts 🌋✨🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A Wonderful Husband & Wife Team: This amazing experience is run solely by Chef Ave and her husband, Erik. They are fabulous, welcoming hosts who make you feel like family from start to finish.
Seamless Transfers + History Lesson: Erik picked us up right from the Bahia Principe Fantasia hotel an hour before the class and dropped us back off safely. The €60 round-trip transfer was worth every penny, especially since Erik gave us a fantastic mini history lesson about the island along the way!
Stunning Picturesque Setting: The workshop is held in a breathtaking, historical village courtyard filled with lush plants, charming murals, and rustic stone. It feels like stepping straight into ancient Tenerife.
Mouthwatering Food & Tapas: We had so much fun making authentic Canarian mojo sauce, which we ate alongside perfectly prepared Tenerife wrinkled potatoes and fresh, crusty bread. Chef Ave produced incredibly delicious, locally sourced tapas—including a creative plate beautifully balanced right on top of our wine glasses!
Delightful Drinks: Everything was paired beautifully with excellent locally sourced wine and a refreshing, homemade lemongrass lemonade/cordial.
Wonderful Social Vibe: I attended with my 17-year-old niece, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our session had a great international mix, including ourselves from Scotland, a lovely couple from Boston, and another lovely couple from Germany.
We cannot recommend Ave and Erik's class enough—it was an absolute highlight of our trip!

Perfection…. Just book it ( early)
Such a wonderful, well organised, interesting cooking class with delightful hosts, one a 5* chef , it truly was the best Mojo Sauce . The setting is picturesque, the cat is beautiful and we were lucky enough to say hello. We will definitely be back next year for the Paella Class.

Canarian Food Prep and Insight
Overall, this was a worthwhile cooking class located in a village 900 m above sea level. It combined learning how to prepare 2 traditional dips/sauces that are used extensively in Canarian cuisine with historical insight and a short talk on culinary topics unique to the region. Drinks/Refreshments/tapas/ were offered.

Top experience
What a great experience! We had a great evening where we learned to make paella together with the hostess. The host and hostess were incredibly welcoming and shared all kinds of fun facts and interesting stories along the way and during cooking. We not only enjoyed the good food, but also learned a lot about the origin and preparation of a real paella.
The setting was also very cozy: an atmospheric house in a charming mountain village.
The combination of the warm welcome, the cozy atmosphere, the interesting explanation and the delicious food made this an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommended for anyone who loves good food, local culture and a personal approach!

FANTASTIC
What an amazing experience. Erik with his knowledge of the history from the Cannaries to farther afield to Ave who guided us through the process of making mojo. We were made so welcome and at ease in their beautiful home. This is the first cooking class we have ever attended and the whole experience was fantastic. The time went so quickly which was a shame as I could have stayed for hours chatting to them both.
It really is worth every penny.
Thank you Erik and Ave.
