5.00Chef Patricio was super knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Meal with wine pairings was excellent. Was able to participate in the actual cooking as much, or as little, as you prefer.
Terrific Culinary & Cultural Experience

5.00What a great way to spend the day! We felt like we were invited into the chef’s home with family by the end of the class. Patricio & Miguel gave an entertaining & informative culinary class filled with tips from the masters while infusing their culture throughout the conversation. Everyone participated & no one left hungry. The best part was having the class spread out over a few hours so everyone could relax, engage in good conversation, & enjoy the fruits of our labors. Earra!
