A truly authentic experience. Tere gives a very warm welcome on her charming houseboat and guides you through the art of churros making. We had a great afternoon and plan to return.

What an intriguing way to spend an afternoon. Tere is incredibly hospitable and knowledgeable. We learned so much about houseboats, churros, her native Spain, and cats! It was good fun making the churros and they were the best I’ve ever had.

My partner and I booked the stuffed churros option and it did not disappoint! From start to finish Tere was amazing. She reached out to us on Whatsapp with the directions to her boat which were spot on and she came out to meet us. She helped us get hands on with the making of the Churros, how to long to prepare them for and how to stuff them with your choice of filling (Chocolate or Dulce De Leche). The boat has a lot of character and we've bought ourselves the same equipment to make the Churros at home! Overall this was a really fun experience, so fun that my partner is already planning a class with her mother :)

This is my favourite cooking class I've tried so far. Tere was so lovely. She texted us ahead of time with directions on how to get there, which was really helpful. She was really knowledgeable about the process and fun to talk to. I've tried making churros before on my own and they didn't turn out well, but after this class I feel much more confident. We even tried making the bear churros I've seen online when I asked if we could. Her cat Tippi was also adorable and lovely to see. Definitely recommend this experience! She also has an upcoming cat portrait biscuit class that looks interesting.

Originally bought as a gift for me and my girlfriend we decided to bring my Mam along, and it was great! Totally not what I was expecting but a really great experience. Tere is full of knowledge that she bestowed onto us and we will now be making churros for years to come. Couldn’t recommend the class any more!

Bought this experience as part of my partner's birthday gifts. We both absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. Tere was such a lovely and amazing person! She showed us around her boathouse and we got to meet her adorable cat too. The churros cooking process was really fun and enjoyable, starting from making the dough, the frying process and making the hot chocolate. The results were delicious! Everything was perfect from start to end. I couldn't recommend this enough. Tere is also a great chef and an amazing artist! Do check out her other experiences, which I am sure are equally if not more brilliant. Much love!
