Hola con lola

Positive experience: I had such a great time with Hola con Lola! The cooking lesson was not only fun and interactive, but also a wonderful way to meet interesting people from all over. The whole experience was relaxed and welcoming, and I really enjoyed the team spirit as we worked together to create delicious dishes. Lola made everyone feel comfortable, and her passion for cooking and culture really shone through. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a unique and social experience in Melbourne!

Fantastic experience: ~ Paella, Passion, and Perfect Saffron Vibes ~ Loved every second of this cooking class with Lola! Before this, I had never made Sangria, Paella, or Churros — and now, I feel like I could throw a Spanish dinner party without even glancing at a recipe. Lola’s style is the perfect combo of informative and super fun. She made us feel like more than just students — we were part of the experience, from chopping to stirring to make paella, making churros and Sangria. Lola was warm, welcoming, and totally in her element. I’m definitely signing up for her other courses. If you’re thinking about it — just do it. You’ll leave full and happy! Plus there is a tour of the Il Mercato Centrale, where Lola shows you all the stalls and you get to sample food.

Negative experience: Very disappointing. Couldn't hear anything she was saying; very disorganised. The taste sampling was a joke with not enough samples for everyone to have and was definitely not a cooking class. 3 hours over-ran by 45mins and even then we didn't get the Spanish omelette. Savouring grace, we had some nice people to chat to

Positive experience: socializing was great..great group of people...commumication prior to class good..however the avtual cookimg class was a mess...anyway we had fun

Fantastic experience: We were gifted a cooking class for our wedding, and we took the Mexican food class, which was delicious! Lola is a joy to be around, and we originally met a few years ago when we had her cook paella for my 50th birthday. I have watched her business flourish and it is all due to her love, passion, and joy for food. Our class was at The Mercato Centrale for the first time, which was a great venue I had been wanting to visit. She took our class on a tour where we tasted delicious samples from the gourmet merchants. The class was free flowing with no time constraints, the ingredients were fresh, the drinks were plentiful! Lola shared her story and encouraged us all to share ours which made it a more intimate experience. Lola's boundless energy is infectious! We truly enjoyed our experience and can't wait to take another one of her classes!
