Round-trip transport, the class, the meal, and wine are all included for up to six people.Is it for me?Right for couples, small families, and food lovers who want to cook in someone's actual home kitchen rather than a commercial cooking school — the intimacy and the ride with Maria are what make the recipes stick.
