It's more then just cooking class

Erez_G, Nov 2023

I had great time taking the cooking class with Mariela. The experience started even before I arrived to the kitchen. I contacted her on WhatsApp and together we decided the time of day for the class, as well as tailoring the the three course menu to my preference. I got to learn a nice technique to slice an onion and loved the roasted vegetables salad. In addition of being a patient mentor, Mariela is an interesting person to talk to. Let her tell you about her vast experience as a cook, hotel manager, real estate person and her travles round the world. On the down side, we ended up with dishes to big for a single serving. That's the disadvantage of being a solo traveller. Also, the whole activity starting at the grocery store and ending at the dinner table took more time then I expected. Started at 4:00pm and said goodbye at about 9:30 pm.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you, Erez! It was my pleasure to cook with you!

Cooking in Sofia with Mariela

Mariela was so generous with her time, experiences, history of Sofia and friendship. Of course the cooking was superb, delicious and left us wanting more.
