In expert English, Gorka provided us with a brief city history, then he and the chefs engaged us to co-cook a wonderful meal! Basque tortilla, cod, steak and fantastic cheesecake. Plus cider and wine. We 3 couples thoroughly enjoyed the early evening. Meal. Don’t miss this fun!

What a perfect way to truly learn about the Basque region and its food culture. Carlos was a fantastic guide with strong English. The foods we helped prepare were delicious and will be easy to replicate back home. Great value for the price too.

They were a no-show. My daughter and I were at the spot stated in the instructions 15 minutes beforehand and stayed 10 minutes after the event time. No emails or call. Big disappointment

My culinary journey with my boyfriend Toby in San Sebastian was spectacular, thanks to the Authentic Basque Cooking Class in the charming Old Town. Under the expert guidance of Chefs Carlos and Saul, our group was immersed in the vibrant world of Basque cuisine. The hands-on experience of making a traditional Basque tortilla, the delicate dance of preparing Bacalao Pil-Pil, the perfect Txuleta with Piquillo Peppers, and the sweet finale of crafting the iconic San Sebastian Cheesecake left us not only with full bellies but also with cherished memories.
The chefs' passion for Basque culinary traditions shone through in their teaching, making every step an enjoyable and enriching experience. The ambiance of the Old Town added an extra layer of authenticity to our cooking adventure. While it would have been a lovely touch to keep our aprons as souvenirs, as I have experienced in other cooking classes worldwide, this small detail did not detract from the overall exceptional experience. This cooking class is a must-do for anyone visiting San Sebastian.
