Best cookery experience on the island

Erik gave us a warm welcome into their absolutely beautiful home/business. The class started with a little bit of history and facts that I absolutely loved. Then we moved down into a wonderful well equipped cook station near the original fire out in the garden. Ave then served some authentic tapas with even more interesting facts from Erik while we enjoyed a refreshment (wine, homemade lemonade, beer or water) We then had a rundown of what we were going to do and we're really well instructed b...read more

Authentic cooking class with heart – an unforgettable culinary experience! 🇪🇸🥘❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a great and authentic experience! 😍🇪🇸 This cooking workshop was definitely more for us than just cooking together. The special, authentic location and the warm atmosphere alone ensured that you felt welcome immediately. You don't get a touristy cooking show here, but rather experience real, traditional cuisine with a lot of personality and passion. ❤️ Together we chopped, prepared, cooked, laughed, and of course tasted. We were particularly impressed by the fantastic paella with...read more

Our best experience on our trip!

We attended the seafood paella class on a Friday evening. The location is in the small “mountain” village of Chirche, which is a excursion in itself to see Tenerife beyond the high-rise resorts. We were met by Erik at the door of their lovely home. A simple entrance led to a wonderfull courtyard and outside kitchen. It is amazing what Erik, retired tour guide, and Ave, retired chef, have done with the property, it was one of the most charming, and incredibly cozy places we have ever seen, we alm...read more

Highlight of Tenerife: Cooking in the Mountains

We did the Casa Carmen cooking class with our family, and it ended up being a great experience. Ave is a really solid chef - good at keeping everyone on track without making it feel forced. We learned something rather than just going through the motions. Erik brings a different angle with the storytelling. He shares a lot of local history and context that makes the whole thing more memorable than a typical cooking class. We now know the difference between Paella and 'Arroz con Cosas'. 😂 The...read more
