Maria was an absolute delight. From the moment we met she taught me and inspired me to speak and love Español. She was very patient and encouraging and most of all a great teacher. I have vowed to practice so that next time we meet we can experience more beauty in Madrid. Gracias.

Fantastic meal and cooking experience!
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 experience!
We had a wonderful time with Ari and Abuela. We learned to make Seafood Paella and Spanish Omelet/Tortilla. The interactions were fun and the food was incredible and plentiful! Abuela was very patient with our many questions and Ari was very patient translating them. Ari also gave us some great pointers for our next activity of the day. All in all, it was a fantastic experience!

AMAZING!! Favourite part of our holiday!!
We would not recommend this experience more. Antonia and Ariadna welcomed us into their (pristine) home. Ariadna spoke perfect English and translated our many questions for Abuela. The produce was so fresh and the food was something out of our dreams. We made Seafood Paella and Spanish Tortilla we would highly recommend. So grateful to have this experience.

Memorable authentic highlight for family
Ari and grandma were wonderful. And grandma’s authentic cooking style coupled with Ari’s foodie knowledge of everything Madrid were a highlight of our family visit. Our teen kids were able to experience something very real. And awesome paella!

What a wonderful way to experience the culture and hospitality of Spain! We were welcomed into their home, cooked delicious food in the traditional way, and shared our meal while chatting as friends. If you enjoy cooking I cannot recommend this enough!

Felt like family
Ariadna and her Grandmother were so welcoming. We learned to cook the Spanish dishes with such good instructions. We can’t wait to replicate at home. My husband fell in love with Ariadna’s grandmother, she reminded my husband of his grandmother and they hit it off immediately. You have to do this experience.

Cooking Class, Made with Love
Our family enjoyed this experience more than any on our recent trip! The cooking was fun, participatory and the end results were some of the best food we had in Spain. Antonia and Ari truly made us feel welcome in their home and we recommend this to anyone looking for that unforgettable moment.
