Great time cooking
We had a great time this summer doing this cooking class. Patricio’s passion for cooking came through as we walked through the markets and he gave us some insight to the Basque way of cooking. When in the kitchen we all had the opportunity to take part in making the selected dishes. I enjoyed making the cheesecake and it turned out to be delicious. All the dishes we made were great. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Fun and informative
The class was great for me becase I learned why I was having trouble making pil pil on my own. I cant wait to cook these dishes at home!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your review! We’re delighted that the class helped solve the mystery of pil pil! Learning the techniques behind traditional Basque dishes—and understanding why they work—is such an important part of the experience. We hope your pil pil turns out perfectly at home and brings back great memories of San Sebastián! The Mimo Team

We've seen the market...
We've seen the market-- we learned something about the food here-- the saisonal food-- In the kitchen we helped prepare the different dishes- we tried the products and the boss explained Tode that we want to know- Then we eat everything- it was very rich
