Edie – Australia

This was the cutest and most wholesome cooking class. Definitely recommend. Felt very homely and warm.

Florentina – Romania

This is the experience we enjoyed the most during our stay in Buenos Aires. Better than far fancier barbecues! If they polished the presentation of the ingredients a bit, they could ask far more for this activity. Try it! 😍
