Full Bellies, Warm Heart
Stephanie_F, Jul 2023
There are no words that adequately capture the warm and welcoming feeling that Daniela provides throughout this experience. She and her mother make a perfect duo in preparing authentic meals, and having wonderfully genuine and authentic conversations. We made great food, did the prep, taste tested along the way and had full bellies and deep laughs. Daniela, even went the extra inch to provide recommendations to enhance our experience while in Medellín. I can’t say it enough: this is truly an experience that you and your family and friends will never forget.
I had an absolutely wonderful time...
Aarti K, Jun 2018
I had an absolutely wonderful time with Daniela and her mother Beatriz -- I would highly recommend this activity to other tourists visiting Medellin, as it was one of my favorite moments during my trip to Colombia! Daniela and Beatriz are warm, welcoming and kind and make you feel welcome in their home from the moment you show up at the door with big hugs and smiles, to the moment you walk out making sure you know how to get back, etc. -- they really exemplify the true hospitality of the Colombian people! The cooking activity itself was highly organized and professional -- Daniela was well-prepared with the portioned out ingredients in stations which made for a very smooth, efficient cooking process and she is a very talented chef, so the resulting meal ended up being absolutely delicious!. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to sit down with Daniela and her mother for dinner, chatting about their lives and experiences and truly having an opportunity to connect with local Colombians in an authentic way. From their hospitality to their professional nature to their delicious food to their wonderful company... I can't say enough good things! Thank you to Daniela and Beatriz for such a wonderful, memorable experience. Highly recommended!
