What to expect

We had a wonderful time with Paula making macarons!

It was excellent. Eduardo was very knowledgeable and personable. Our group consisted of two adults and four kids from 9 to 19. Eduardo did a great job getting everyone involved and the macarons came out great! Highly recommend.

How was it??? It was a different time than what was posted. The host and EatWith can’t get it together to post the correct time so I missed the event. The host told me one time then the confirmation I received was a completely different time. Waste of money.

Our host Lorena was absolutely AMAZING! She was so informative and a great teacher. Once we finished the class we enjoyed a wonderful dining experience eating the crepes and gallettes that we made. I would highly recommend this class.
