This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food.

Lovely kitchen! Lola was a wonderful hostess. Very good at getting everyone involved. Great food, we prepared the majority ourselves. Lots of good wine-a very pleasant experience

Lola is lovely and her course was fantastic. Not only did I learn how to create 3 great dishes but I learnt a whole lot of local ways and traditions in the meals we prepared. I always love those attached stories and as such toast with olive oil and grated tomatoes has become on of my favourite things and I think of Lola every time I have that to eat! Lola is so fabulous that when I said I’d love ve to come back when next in Madrid, she said she’d do a different menu. Thanks Lola….I just need copies of the recipes which I’ve misplaced. Have paella pan from you but need to cook in it 😂

Lola is an exceptional chef and teacher! We made two kinds of tapas, a fish entree, and paella—our reason for taking the class. Her teaching style is fun, informative and thorough. I feel ready to go home and make these dishes for my friends and family! Every dish was absolutely delicious, we learned a lot about Spanish cooking in different regions, and had an incredible amount of fun! I highly recommend any cooking class offered by Lola—when I return to Madrid I will take another cooking class with her.

We loved our afternoon with Lola and the rest of our group. We’ve travelled quite a bit in Spain over the years, and we enjoy cooking (and eating) Spanish food, but we leaned some new techniques that we will definitely use when we get home. Lola was a joy - in addition to providing the recipes and information about the ingredients and instructions, she gave us some great general information about the Spanish culture and ideas about other places to visit in Madrid. A great value and it was also great to dine on the food we prepared.
