What an incredible experience at Mimo cooking school!! Our chef was part owner and worked in a Michelin 3 star restaurant!! He and his partner were so much fun and yet very professional and passionate about the art of cooking! It was just another couple and my husband and myself! We were there 6hrs, eating and drinking Fabulous food and wine!! A definite highlight and memory!!

Wow! I honestly cannot say enough about how wonderful this experience was. Chef invited each of us to be involved in all aspects of the lesson— for example, I fully disassembled and cleaned a squid. What a treat. I consider myself an excellent cook, but there were so many things I learned. His process is so inviting and he always has a smile! I really learned about taking time with tasks that Americans may tend to rush through (perhaps because we watch cooking shows that are only 30 minutes long!) I really experienced first hand the difference in taste and quality that comes with taking one’s time. Also techniques about when to salt, how to prepare meats and even how to make doughs and mayonnaise— I could go on!)
The end is amazing — you sit down to an excellent meal— one that you know to how to make. Highly recommend!

We loved this class!! So fun and learned a lot. The food we made was delicious and I have already ordered my paella pan so I can make it again when we get home. Patrico was such a great teacher. We liked it so much we signed up for another class the next day. A must do when in San Sebastián and definitely a highlight of our stay!

The chef explained why he cooked a certain way. There was a bit of history and explanation on how to bring out flavors.

Easily one of the best cooking class experiences. Makes me wish I could have also done the Michelin one with them as well. My fellow guests and I had an absolute blast with chef as his personality and charm, along with his skills in the kitchen made for an amazing day. Great memories. Will be back.

We had so much fun at Mimo! I had never been to a cooking class before and really didn't know what to expect. I thought that everybody would make everything, but we worked as a team to get the whole meal done. The food was all delicious, well, I didn't love the squid, but it sure was interesting!
The chefs were kind, funny and patient. I could tell they love their jobs. The whole class ran like a finely tuned machine. It could not have gone any better and I'd go back in a flash if I didn't live in Colorado!!
If you're thinking about going - you should go! It was worth every penny and minute.

My first cooking class and it was amazing from start to finish. Learnt a lot and the food that we cooked was amazing. The wine pairing with the food was good too. A great experience with an amazing chef and meeting new people.

We were lucky. We were the only two people in the class, off-season traveling is the best. We were concerned they might cancel the class, but Patricio explained that they never cancel, even if only 1 person attends. He told us many people plan their trips around the cooking classes and Mimo will not let anyone down. Sound business philosophy.
This wasn’t just a cooking class, it was about the philosophy, passion, culture, and creativity of making something special. Basque cooking (even when doing a Spanish dish) is focused on simple ingredients (e.g., not using many spices, if any at all). It is about high quality, fresh ingredients.
Our class focused on authentic Spanish Paella. We made one rabbit and one squid paella and crème brûlée. Patricio had all the ingredients ready - the squid was delivered fresh while we were making our introductions.
We started by focusing on the stocks. The squid had a fish (Hake, leek and parsley) based stock, while the rabbit started with caramelized onion, carrot and rosemary. Patricio had those stocks already started when we arrived. We prepped everything else; squid, rabbit, onion, tomato, etc. We had never prepped either rabbit or squid. It was so enlightening learning how to prep each. We can now do this easily at home (we live in San Diego, so have access to fresh squid - not sure about the rabbit, but can substitute chicken). We even learned how to properly dice an onion and tomato. We cook together nearly every evening and didn’t know the best way to chop (we should have been slicing) an onion (as Patricio kept saying, “you’re not wrong, just doing it different”).
We learned a lot about Basque culture and history as well. Mostly because it centers around preparing, cooking and eating food. The Basque philosophy of eating is “small portions and eat often.”
We fell in love with this eating style as well as fresh, fresh, fresh ingredients. I think back on how Patricio dwelled on the freshness of the squid and how you can tell how fresh it is. My wife fully separated both the squid and the rabbit. She’s my hero. I took the pictures and video.
Our class was not about preparing the perfect meal, it was about us understanding and learning the nuances of cooking. Patricio went to great lengths to teach us the details, importance and reasoning of each step. For example, stocks are the foundation of the dish - they use simple ingredients and from there you can build.
I spent about 15 minutes with a mortar and pestal grinding garlic into a paste for the aioli. My wife made fresh mayonnaise (we were both blown away by how easy fresh mayo is to make). The aioli was unbelievable… again, fresh simple ingredients.
I cooked the rabbit paella and my wife the squid. We worked every step with Patricio guiding us. His passion for cooking is so strong and emanates so broadly we were energized (of course I had to immediately get on Amazon and order a paella pan and emulsifier).
After we cooked, we ate. It was such an enjoyable meal… it felt more like home than a class. Lara joined us and we chatted about many things, food a little bit - but mostly we talked about each of us. My wife and I feel blessed to have had that time and met two wonderful people in San Sebastián. We will be back, no doubt.
If you are considering any class with Mimo, don’t think too long - just do it. It is worth every cent and every moment your time.

The kitchen is well-equipped and organized. The instructor/chef was fun, friendly and informative. The ingredients were good quality and the sense of camaraderie among staff and participants added extra flavor and joy to sharing of the delicious meal we prepared as a team.

A wonderful experience. We learned how to prepare multiple dishes using fresh local ingredients. The chefs were entertaining and great at explaining each step of the process and why. And you get to eat what you've prepared as a group! Highly recommend it!
