5.00Wow! Carlos (our chef instructor) is really cooking on all cylinders! We truly enjoyed this totally immersive experience, shopping together first for fresh fish and steak at the public market, then getting hands-on lessons in the making of 4 dishes. We especially loved the relaxed pace, and beautiful space that KOOKIN provides. Highly recommend.
Fun cooking class

So much fun!

5.00Great experience! We loved going to the market and learning about the different foods that we eventually cooked and ate. Carlos was easy to talk to, was very knowledgeable, and gave great instructions during the cooking portion of class. The food that we cooked was delicious and we look forward to trying to recreate the dishes at home.
