Great Family Experience

Learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with Lola. The small group setting was fantastic. The accommodations to support gluten free Croquettes as part of the class was amazing. Even accommodated request for a non seafood Paella (in addition to the planned black rice seafood paella. Can’t wait to try recipes back home.

Fantastic family food experience!

Our cooking class with Lola was amazing! She taught us so much about cooking as well as Spanish culture and we made delicious food! It was such an enjoyable evening for our family. Lots of wine was flowing and it was just a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere! Would highly recommend this class!
