My husband and I came with friends to Casa Ombuto for cooking school. Our friends had been before and my husband has never cooked anything but eggs! The first day my husband was not to happy with what I got him into! I said give it a try! Well in a day he was not only cooking the dishes he was asked to do but helping out others! He admitted he was really enjoying himself. I have had the most wonderful time and we are planning our next visit back. We loved Paola! She is a wonderful chef and excellent teacher! The Casa is beautiful! If there was more than 5 stars I would give it to them!
