Super experience.

One of the best cooking classes I have ever had :) We "only" made empanadas, but I am taking the recipe back to Europe and will certainly use it more often. Jheam is a great cook and explains things well. We felt very comfortable!

Tasty

It was a very nice experience to do! Jheams helped us and explained the steps of cooking well! The food itself was also very tasty. Definitely recommended if you want to know the Colombian cuisine a bit better.

Very nice cooking class for all levels!!

Me and my boyfriend are traveling through Colombia and ate a lot of Empanadas so ofcourse we had to learn it ourselfs to be able to make it at home. So happy we booked this class! Our chef Jheams picked us up on time and took us to a little local store where we bought the last ingredients. His presence was so lovely and with humor and patience he teached us how to make Cartagena style Empanadas, which we enjoyed afterwards with a beautiful view! Highly recommend!

Authentic food experience with congenial locals!

Authentic local experience from shopping for ingredients while walking through the neighborhood to preparing ingredients as is done in a household to sitting on the balcony overlooking the metro Medellin valley eating what was made, this adventure felt like being part of the community, even if only for a short time. Most instruction and conversation was in Spanish though there were two assistants that were available with fluent English skills to translate. Great to have the opportunity to shar...read more
