“Paulina met us at the ferry station, and we walked together through a very scenic route to her studio, stopping at the market on the way, and getting to know eachother. At the studio we cooked more than 3 dishes following her precise instructions, and then ate what we prepared, which was very tasety. The whole event took much longer than planned, without even noticing… Paulina is an extremely welcoming and interesting host - we reccomend this experience to those who are interested in people and food combined. We loved it.”
