"We did this to round out our food focus in San Sebastián, as we had separately done Pintxos tours and a restaurant meal. This was great in that it gave really good insight into how to make classics, especially Tortilla and Basque Cheesecake, and provided recipes. Our food also managed to taste good, so we were well guided. The atmosphere with Alberto and the other participants was great. More expensive than some other tours, but on balance we were happy with the value and we got a really good different experience."

5/5
from 120 verified GetYourGuide travelers
"A wonderful introduction to basque food! In 2-1/2 hours, Carlos showed us how to put together a four course meal with cider and wine pairings. So good!"
"We had a great time and learned a lot about basque cooking. We made several dishes, tasted wines of the area as well as Cider and enjoyed eating all the dishes we prepared. It was a very relaxed environment, we made new friends and had all our questions answered about visiting the area. Everything was well organized and ready to go when we arrived. We would do it again!"
"We had a great time! The food was delicious and the guides were tremendous."
"We loved this cooking class! Both our guide and chef were a joy to be with. We were able to participate as much or as little as we wanted and the food we made with the help of the chef was fantastic. While preparing the food it didn’t seem like a lot, but we were totally stuffed by the end of the class. If you enjoy cooking you will enjoy this class, stop thinking about it and just book it!"
