Meeting Payal and cooking with her was such a pleasure for our family! She was incredibly friendly and engaging, and so supportive and helpful as we made the recipe together-- it felt like she was right there in our kitchen with us!...

Dan and Stacy, hosted by Payal in Jaipur BOOK NOW

Traveler Review from April 10, 2021

Our cooking experience with Daniel was such a wonderful and memorable experience for our family! ...Our kids had a great time participating in the cooking process and also learning about Ethiopian traditions, history, and music. It was a pleasure to meet Daniel's lovely family during the session as well! ...we look forward to joining Daniel again soon!

Traveler Review from April 5, 2021

We did this as a family of 6 - 3 different households, 3 different time zones. Nancy's pre-meeting ingredients list and instructions were very thorough, and she was a warm and lively host during the class. We really appreciated that she left her zoom account open after we finished cooking so we could eat "together."

Barbara, hosted by Nancy in Chicago, IL BOOK NOW

Traveler Review from April 5, 2021

Did this class as an online birthday surprise for a friend, and we all had a blast! The dosa recipe is a little challenging for those new to South Indian cooking (as we all were), but Kavitha was so helpful and patient with all our questions. Would highly recommend this class!

Traveler Review from April 2, 2021

What a wonderful morning we spent cooking with Mirella & Stephano cooking gnocchi, Tuscan ragu and tiramisu... It was a great multi generational experience for my stepdaughter, 2 teenage grand daughters and me... I feel confident enough to make the recipes again on my own. Gracie Mirella!

Susan, hosted by Mirella in Florence BOOK NOW

Traveler Review from April 2, 2021

Gabriela was a great teacher. Her tricks to make authentic empanadas were awesome.

Deborah, hosted by Gabriela in Buenos Aires BOOK NOW

Traveler Review from April 2, 2021

Delightful cooking experience. Took us to her rooftop to view the city and taught us to preserve lemons, make mint tea and delicious tagine chicken. We enjoyed chatting about Morocco in French and English. Reminded us of our trip to her wonderful country...

Cathy and Bob, hosted by Manuela in Marrakech BOOK NOW
