Travel off the Eaten Path

I never leave reviews, but this is worthy of one! The dynamic duo, Gabriela and Patricia, made my boyfriend and I (traveling together) feel like part of their family. Not only did they make us feel beyond welcome, but they taught us how to make delicious empanadas! If you’re considering doing any sort of empanada cooking class while in BA, then look no further! You’ve found the best class there is! I highly suggest signing up for this amazing experience!

Had a great time with Erna, was great to understand the Greek culture.

Kanae was a perfect hostess. The dishes reflected the local culture which is what we wanted to experience. I highly recommend Kanae if you are looking for a fun and local cooking experience. We asked that she teach us how to prepare dishes that we could prepare once we return and she printed out recipes for each of the dishes for us to take back.

My partner and I took the cooking class with Daniel and Tigist the last night of our trip. It was the perfect note to end on! What a delicious meal, wow! We tried 6 different dishes, all of which were really savory and enjoyable. Afterwards, we learned the traditional way to roast coffee beans...I do not drink coffee at all, and yet LOVED this experience and the coffee itself. It was an easy way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and we left full, happy and smiling.

It was such an wonderful experience with Daniel and Tigist, a lovely family! We went to a local market and Daniel kindly show me different ingredients which we would use to cook Ethiopia traditional food Injera and the shiro sauce. The part of coffee ceremony at their home also a nice way to get into their life and Ethiopia Culture. Thanks to Daniel and Tigist for treating us like family. A NICE DAY

I would have to say that my favorite memory of our trip to Greece was our cooking class with Erna and Thanos. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations on many, many topics and they were very generous serving a number of different wines. Both Erna and Thanos are very thoughtful, intelligent people and like to laugh. This was a delightful experience.

We had a phenomenal time with Dotty! She really took her time to get to know us, while thoughtfully preparing the recipes for our dinner. We left Dotty’s beautiful home (a remote safe haven in the middle of the rice fields) inspired and with happily fed tummies.

Kodi and Meena are a very sweet couple that live in a house in Galle Fort...Even before we had our first cup of tea with the host, we had the opportunity to roam the house, searching through the old rooms, finding pieces of art - Kodi is an art collector. Overall Kodi and Meena made this a special experience for us, in a special home in a special country.

Fusina immediately made us feel welcomed and at home, as if we were old friends of hers. Fusina is such a beautiful person with so much experience in the cooking department, this class was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!!

Wonderful family, wonderful home, delicious food. The whole family are great ambassadors for their country.

A fantastic way to come close to Ethiopian Culture and tradition with great flavours. Absolutely great experience!! A great way to experience Ethiopian cuisine and traditions.

Pallavi couldn’t have been more welcoming, and the food was a vegetarian’s dream! There were at least 8 courses, all of them delicious and homemade. It was exactly what I was hoping for—a menu inspired by street food, without the food safety concerns. I’d highly recommend it to anyone.
