WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in Washington, D.C.
09/13/2024
they made it a great experience
09/06/2024
We had such a wonderful time cooking with Chef Gustavo! He’s an excellent teacher, and his knowledge really shines through. After the class, he even gave us tips on where to find ingredients so we could recreate the dishes at home. The whole experience was fun and informative, and the food was absolutely delicious! We took "The Flavors of Chile" class, and everything we made tasted incredible. I’ll definitely take another class with him and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and flavorful experience!
