5.00My husband and I own a family tourism business on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. We are always looking for opportunities to improve the quality of the services we offer, and this was the reason why we attended Mrs. Nordell's cooking class. We are impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, but most of all, by her attitude towards the client. For Mariela, customer's satisfaction is the most important goal, and we not only learned interesting and new things from the culinary world but also spent a fantastic day in her company. Her sense of humour and her rich life experience turned the cooking lesson into a unique day. We highly recommend Mariela Nordel's services in any area!
Excellent
