What our guests say

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.

Bravo Miguel! We had a wonderful time…Hard to believe we could prepare such a great meal being untrained chefs. We really enjoyed the entire experience…a beautiful kitchen and dining table with wine and cider…Perfect!

Such an amazing experience. Íñigo was an awesome guide; he really demonstrated a deep passion for Basque culture and food and he fostered great community amongst us. The food was INCREDIBLE as well, and we left with more confidence in the kitchen! We hope to do this again when we return to Donostia!

Such an amazing experience!!!! Couldn’t recommend enough to learn about the food markets, the basque way of cooking. Interactive small experience which lead to rich conversation among the group. A highlight of our trip!

Estamos agradecidas por esta experiencia. Patricio fue un guía estupendo en el mercado de la bretxa y a través de los puestos de materia prima de gran calidad. Un paseo que nos llevó a conocer a algunos de sus personajes, historias y sabores hasta llevarnos a la cocina. Lugar precioso, momento distinto y recetas sensillas y exquisitas que no fallan. Muchas gracias!

This tour is more than a cooking class. You not only learn how to cook classic Basque dishes, but you learn a lot about Basque culture through the market portion of the tour. Patricio was a great guide throughout the day. San Sebastián Cooking Classes seems to focus more on intimate cooking classes compared to other tours I researched, and the experience lined up perfectly as we were in a small group. Would highly recommend this class.

Das Einkaufen vermittelte einen Einblick in die baskische Tradition und in die hohe Qualität der Produkte. Der Kochkurs war gut organisiert und das Essen sehr lecker. Vor allem aber haben wir viel über die baskische Küche gelernt! Vielen Dank!!

Because there was a power outage in the city, we had to scrap the cooking but Eneko pivoted and we went out for drinks and a pintxos tour. It wasn’t what we expected, but they certainly can’t help a power outage and we had a great time! We lucked out with a super fun group and had a blast. Highly recommend
