Genuine local cooking

Jessica B, Oct 2019

It was a privilege to be invited into a family home to cook and eat with them. I learnt the kinds of foods eaten at different times of the day. Fresh meat and vegetables were from the daily local market. I helped prepare all the dishes and will try some at home. There wasn't a kebab in sight. I was treated as an honored guest. Thank you.

Pese a que la atención y camaradería fue muy buena, encontré insuficiente lo que enseñaron, además de las condiciones en que se hizo, pues, no fue acorde al precio que se cobró.
