Super cooking class
First we met at a market and Marco went shopping with us. He explained many things on the market, such as how to choose vegetables well. The cooking class was wonderful, he took a lot of time to explain everything to us. It was accompanied by wine. One could also express wishes about what to cook. Overall it was a great and delicious experience and we had a lovely day.
