I surprised my fiancé with the Seasonal Grilling Cooking Class and I must say, the experience far exceeded my expectations! Chef Paco was very welcoming and accommodating to us. From the moment we walked in, it felt like a Luxury/5 Star experience. The space is beautiful and the kitchen was absolutely breathtaking. The ambiance was perfect for date night! There was a nicely set dining table for us to eat at once we finished preparing our meal. Once each course was finished, Chef Paco served us at the dining room table and occasionally checked in with us to see how we were doing. So we still got the fine dining experience while also engaging with each other and learning how to prepare the meal. Chef Paco is not only VERY skilled at what he does, but he is also an awesome instructor! Because our meal was Grilled Octopus, there was a lot of prep time involved. So, Chef Paco did some prep work for us to minimize the actual prep time. Furthermore, he had additional ingredients for us to "Poach, Chop, and Season" so that we would still get the full experience of what it is like to prepare the Grilled Octopus and other courses from the very start to finish. Chef Paco did an awesome job explaining and demonstrating how everything should be done. He answered all of the questions we had for him and explained everything down to how to properly hold a knife. We learned so much during our time with him! The food was FANTASTIC!!! Every. single. course. I mean, to the point that I was eating off of my fiancé's plate to have more lol. Not to mention, he shared the recipe with us so we can prepare it again. My fiancé had the time of his life participating in this class, so it is safe to say we will be making reservations for other cooking classes in the near future! Thank you SOOO very much Chef Paco!!!
