“Maria made this a wonderful experience for my Mom’s birthday celebration! She came prepared knowing about the audience, made a special moment where we could all share appreciation for the birthday lady, kept track of all our ingredients and setups to personalize instruction and made it fun for us. The setup was high quality and Maria is a master at zoom controls. Excellent experience! Thank you Maria!”

“What a wonderful evening we had with Helina. We learned how to make a delicious, authentic paella easily with Helina’s instructions and ability to show and tell effectively with her online tools. Immediately we felt as if a long time friend was cooking with us. Helina was generous with her personalization, understanding of our skills and occasional mistakes. Wish she was able to dine and toast the finished meal with us. Maybe someday!”

Her patatas bravas / pan con tomate / sangria class is the absolute best, authentic, delicious, easy to follow because of her great expertise in both cooking and teaching — you’ll be amazed at what you are able to accomplish.

Why?
No previous preparations are required! It’s really IMPORTANT for private events: many of your guests will not have time and desire to make preparations for the class 30-40 min in advance which is almost always necessary for complicated recipes.
Simple ingredients (those everyone has at home): fruits & wine & bread & tomato.
We will encourage your guests to be interactive and keep people talking about your event for months to come. It’s not just a simple cooking class: we will talk, laugh, make toast, drink, play games, and have a lot of fun!
We will make 2 delicious Spanish recipes that your guests will definitely repeat at home many times!
When the class is over you can stay with your guests on the same call as long as you need!
