This class has been a highlight of our experience in Madrid! Lola was fantastic…knowledgeable and very personable. She made the food preparation very accessible for all and we left feeling like we could create the meal back home. We went as an extended family (grandparents and teenagers) and everyone loved it! Highly recommend!

Lola is a commendable teacher. Our experience in the cooking class was quite enjoyable, and I would certainly recommend it. My children found the class to be engaging, and we all appreciated the delicious dishes we prepared together.

We had an amazing evening with Loleo and would absolutely recommend the class when visiting Madrid. We have been on a number of cookery classes whilst abroad and this was by far the best yet! Loleo emailed us before hand with clear instructions on how to find the venue, she was warm and welcoming, the cookery class was a perfect blend of watching, useful cookery tips, joining in cookery and of course lots of tasting. We were at the class for 3 and 1/2 hours preparing and eating 4 courses… egg salad, ham croquettes, squid paella and vegetable cod. The time flew by and Loleo made sure our wine glasses were never empty. If you are considering booking this class…. Do it!!! It was a fab way to make real Spanish food in a warm and welcoming environment!
