Fantastic cooking experience with chef Mikel! Passionate about the Basque Culture and an amazing teacher and chef! You get to do it all! Lots of great recipes accompanying wines and delicious food! Run don’t wait!

Book this class—you will not regret it! On a technical level, the chef has trained all over the world and is an excellent teacher. You’ll learn a lot, all the while feeling encouraged. I especially appreciated this because I’m not a very practiced cook. It’s also FUN. The whole staff is great! Mikel, Josue, and Alex all made the experience wonderful. Great food, great wine, great vibes.

I highly recommend this class! We took this class at the end of our trip after sampling so many pinxtos across the Basque Region. Mikel taught us how to make some of our favorites including the Gilda and Cod Brandada along with some new ones. The host of the wine tasting, Alex, also stopped by to tell us about the wine we were drinking and we liked them both so much that we bought a bottle each to take home. We will definitely take another class with Mikel if we are back in the area. A For those who don't speak Basque or Spanish, Mikel's English is great so don't worry about a language barrier.

Excellent experience, Mikel was an excellent teacher. Very patient and a brilliant story teller of his experience in the culinary field. We were lucky to have a small class and learn lots about the history and creations of Pintxos

There were no other registrations for the course, but lucky for us it was still happening. Mikel explained everything very well & gave lots of tips for preparation. It was also nice that he told us a bit about his career at the beginning. In the end we made very tasty pintxos. Thank you very much! Christiane & Claus

Part of tour with EF tours and Edible Boston magazine. Fun experience for all. Enjoyed the instructor's enthusiasm and energy. Took some wonderful photos. Those red aprons do "pop" for pictures. 3 to 4 hands on pintxos were made. Not difficult at all. Wine flowed. Well done.

This was such an awesome experience!! Beautiful kitchen! Fine Food! Our Chef was AMAZING and it was so fun to gather and make friends in the class. This really set the tone for our first day in Bilbao and we were immediately glad that we signed up for this class. I really learned a lot and enjoyed all sitting down together and feasting on the amazing food we made with the great wine. I felt like I had been to a great party. Highly Recommend!!!!!
