    ...Cristina was very welcoming and we immediately felt almost like home. We learned some new techniques and had a loveley evening in cristinas amazing house from the 12th century in the middle of nowhere.

    Husband and I LOVED the immersive experience with Viviana Acosta. Her knowledge of local customs and food history was impressive. We chopped, mashed, cooked and laughed and fully enjoyed our evening. Highly recommend and will be back with friends. Thank you Viviana!!

    Putu was amazing. She invited us into her family home, showing us the traditional cooking techniques, their wonderful garden and explaining Bali traditions. I would highly recommend for anyone who enjoys learning about local cultural and regional cooking.

    ... our best experience during our Italian Vacation... the food we had there was hard to compete with. Fabio and Christiane were unbelievably accommodating hosts...If you are looking for a break from the fast pace of the cities I would highly encourage you to check this out. My wife and I rank it among our best experience in europe.

    ...The koshari and the rice pudding for dessert were both delicious. The conversation was in English, but as a Japanese person, my host family's English was easy to understand, and everyone was very friendly, so it was easy to communicate. Recommended for those who want a slightly different experience and try Egyptian home cooking. (Google Translated)

    ...Jose is a very engaging and friendly host. We loved the way he used his home environment to share his knowledge, professional chef expertise, local stories and fabulous recipes. We very much appreciated that he consulted with us many days before on our preferences for the menu...
