“Carlos was an exceptional teacher. The experience commenced with a visit to the market. Carlos shared his passion for the quality of the produce and the commitment of the sellers. This translated into great produce used for the subsequent class. The food was delicious and paired with great wines. A fantastic way to spend a day.”

“Great experience. Got to cook several different items, all guided by the chef. As its group cooking you take turns chopping, stirring, plating etc. As you cook you learn about the cuisine and sample three different drinks. At the end you get the recipes to take home. I can see myself making the Spanish omelette and stuffed peppers at home.”

“Fun and hands on experience cooking traditional Basque cuisine! Now I know how to professionally turn a tortillas de patatas even without using a “vuelvar”, a regular plate with some quick wrist action does wonders! Thank you to Chef Sulda and to our guide, Chef Carlos for a wonderful evening!”

“Chef 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.”

“Very personalised, professional. Easy to follow - I’ve been cooking for years and still learned new ideas. We had a lovely menu. Great environment too.”

“This was one of the best experiences i had on my trip this summer. Julian not only showed us an amazing time shopping and cooking, he also elevated my understanding of San Sebastián. This is a significant investment of time but well worth it.”

“We enjoyed the class, learned a lot and eat wonderful food. Our teacher was experienced, funny and considerate, open to everyone needs. ❤️”

“Chef Julen is a very good and made this experience fun, informative and very tasty. His knowledge of not only the food but the basque culture and local area made this class special. I highly recommend this experience hands on experience.”

“During our 4 day stay in San Sebastian, my girlfriend and I took the private cooking class. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend enrolling in any event that Mimo offers. Our chef was so knowledgeable, funny, kind and patiently responded to all of our questions. We learned some nifty cooking techniques, which I hope to replicate at home. The meal we cooked together was absolutely delicious and introduced us to new ingredients and ways to prepare food. We very much appreciated the tour of the market beforehand. A must do!”

“Junto a mis amigos decidimos hacer esta actividad durante una escapada a San Sebastián. Solicitamos la clase fuera en español y no tuvieron problema. Tanto el chef como su compañera hicieron de la clase de cocina vasca una experiencia increíble. Preparamos un menú espectacular de la mano del chef, mientras conversábamos y tomábamos sidra de la zona. Hemos quedado totalmente satisfechos. Muy recomendable.”

“This was SUPER fun with FABULOUS instructors! Both Agus and Patric were terrific with sharing their immense knowledge and very high level of skill with us. We will definitely do this again on our next trip to San Sebastián next year .... and bring the rest of the family with us 😃”

“The whole experience was lovely. The teaching kitchen was super clean, our instructor was easy to understand and the food was delicious. I learned a couple new cooking tricks!!! 10/10 and will do another class when we come back for a visit!!!”
