“This was a great cooking class. The market tour could have been a little more extensive, however we were there on NYE, so it was busy. The little extra bits of knowledge as we walked thru the street was greatly appreciated as to the canapés as we worked on our paella cooking skills. A very helpful chef/guide and would highly recommend to anyone. The serving substantial as well as the wine.”
