Lola was charming, a great instructor, and - of course - a fine chef! I learned about more than the dishes we were preparing (which were delicious!) - Lola is a treasure-trove of tricks and hacks to cook better and to have more fun in the kitchen. A highlight of a visit to Madrid.

DO NOT leave Madrid without booking this experience with Lola. You will not regret meeting with her, only NOT meeting with her! We started our communication with Lola by being provided very good directions and instructions to reach her private dining space. Upon entering, not really knowing what to expect, all we could do was to stand and repeatedly voice, WOW, WOW, WOW! What was once a residence has been converted into a FABULOUS space with an monstrous wooden dining table long with a kitchen showcasing an immense island where her cooking class guests are seated. Our evening was joined with other guests who fast became friends throughout the course of the evening. We drank, laughed, prepped, cooked, stirred, sauteed, sliced, diced, laughed, drank, and so on. The experience was definitely a hands-on experience crafting truly authentic Spanish dishes using the freshest of foods. The dishes Lola selected for us to cook would have been quite daunting to the untrained cook, however, Lola had a knack for breaking down the recipe and turning the 'chore' of cooking in a wonderfully fun and amusing experience. We learned so much along the way, including how to fully prepare a piece of squid including de-boning, de-beaking and cleaning. We nibbled on the first two courses along the way and thoroughly enjoyed the two final main courses. The truffles served at the end of the evening capped off the magnificent experience in a beautifully sweet way. You will arrive as a stranger and be friends within minutes. What we truly appreciated with the experience was the Spanish way of life in how laid-back the culture is and looking at the art of cooking as an experience to enjoy with family and friends vs. a chore.

A great time. Very good cook with fine food. Flexibel in the menu and a fine place te be. Good wine. We had a lovely evening .We had a great time with Lola.

We had a wonderful time in Lola's class. She was knowledgeable, clear in her information and instructions, and very accommodating of dietary requirements (including vegetarian). We walked away full of good food and keen to try making it ourselves! The small group size was also perfect. Fantastic meal and cooking experience!

Lola was exactly what we were looking for in an experience. We did the cooking class in Spanish and Lola was very patient in explaining everything and we made food that was worth the price (regardless of teaching being included). The kitchen is clean, the recipes are to remember — and most of all Lola makes sure everyone is having fun and learning at their own pace. Amazing class, great price!Amazing Chef — Amazing Class

My wife and I were in Spain for our first time and Lola’s class was a fantastic introduction to making some staple Spanish dishes. Lola made the class fun and engaging for us and taught us a lot about Spanish culture even beyond the food. It felt like a locals experience more than a contrived tourist experience (being first time travelers to Spain, we’ve seen many of the latter too). We had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone.Fun, approachable cooking experience!

Una actividad imperdible, aprendes mientras te diviertes, los platos que cocinamos quedaron deliciosos y Lola te demuestra que son súper fáciles de hacer en casa. Espectacular

Wow. What a perfect evening! Lola’s place was beautiful and the food delicious! We were a group of 6 - with my partner, two children their twenties and their friends. We all had an amazing time, including my daughter who is vegan ( Lola made accommodations). We enjoyed the company of the other participants as well. I loved that Lola explained the reasoning behind the how and what we were cooking. I feel like I can actually clean and cook a squid now! She also gave us great recommendations for local eating that we tried the next day - amazing. I can’t recommend this experience enough. A Highlight of Our Visit to Madrid

Lola was a wonderful chef and hostess - knowledgeable and professional and personable. She made the experience very enjoyable and relaxing. I learned a lot also! Thank you, Lola! Fantastic

The food was wonderful.....the recipes clear for us to use in the future.....the background information on the food's history was great. Lola kept us moving through the stages of the meal smoothly and well entertained. She was a perfect host.A Great Time!
