Authentic Basque Cooking Class in San Sebastian with Local Chef

We enjoyed our cooking experience. Came with a group of friends. Our chef was awesome and we all loved the experience

We had a good time,but I think we were expecting to do a little more cooking, we only cooked two dishes. We were very excited to make the Basque Cheese Cake and it was delicious and to put together the Gildas, the other things had been done before we arrived. Luckily it was only the 3 of us. Thank you

Great time and insight into Basque cooking and culture. Good food!

The guide wa friendly and very knowledgeable. Great sense of humour and made learning some new skills really enjoyable. The delicious food produced was enjoyed, especially the amazing. Basque cheesecake to finish.

Alberto was delightfull he had us cook some of the most traditional pinchos and paired with local drinks as well. The experience was nice.

It a great experience. Everything about it was fun. The instructor was knowledgeable, funny and made sure everyone was included and having fun. The food was delicious - all of it grilled sausage, Gilda, stuffed red peppers with cod and béchamel, pattatas fritta, cheese, cider, red and white wine. It ended with an individual basque cheesecake which was delicious. Creamy center - amazing. The course flew by. I highly recommend it.

Cooking class gave us an overview of the food and drink of the area. Christina, the chef, was clear in her directions and highly organized. We appreciated all of the background information of the ingredients and dishes.

So much fun!! Mattin not only demonstrated the techniques and engaged the group in making delicious Basque treats, but also shared his knowledge of Basque history and culture. A wonderful evening with great food and drinks.

This was fabulous! Hands on, fun, educational, delicious. We cherish the experience and met new friends, yet also learned more about Basque culture.

This cooking class with Chef Carlos was one of the best food experiences we’ve had traveling. The setup is perfect—you meet near the church, walk to a restaurant that closes just for the class, and cook in an actual commercial kitchen. It feels real, not touristy. We made gildas, tortilla español, stuffed peppers with cod béchamel, idiazabal cheese pintxo, txistorra pintxo(sausage on a slice of bread), and this incredible Basque cheesecake (with tastings of local cider and txakoli and wine). Our group was small (six of us total), so Carlos actually had time to work with each person. He clearly teaches other chefs, but he doesn’t talk down to beginners. He answered every question and explained why things work, not just the steps. And he was also casual, relaxed and personable so it was a fun experience for everyone. We also got printed recipes for everything, so we weren’t frantically writing notes. We’ve already made two of the dishes at home and they turned out great. This was a great class and we highly recommend it.
