Why I cook. Why I share.

I grew up in a family where everything happened around the table — good news, hard moments, big decisions. Cooking and eating were always the excuse that brought us together.

That’s why I cook. That’s why I share.
Because food isn’t just about flavor — it’s about connection.
When you share a meal, you see where it comes from, and who it brings together.
I believe food is the most beautiful way to understand a place — and a person.

Forget perfect plating. Let’s cook like real people

I teach like I cook — with curiosity, a few shortcuts, and a lot of joy.

I’m not about rigid recipes or culinary ego. I believe in good ingredients, honest techniques, and a kitchen that feels like home.

Whether we’re making marmitako, tortilla de patatas, or a mole you’ll dream about for weeks, the goal is always the same:
learn something useful, enjoy the process, and share it with people you like.

“Carlos is an outstanding teacher.
He makes you feel like there’s always more to learn — and joy in learning it.”

This is why you’ll always find me on the other side of a table.

Whether we’re cooking together in class, hopping from bar to bar tasting pintxos, filming something delicious for Instagram, or just celebrating a good meal — I’m probably there, smiling, with something tasty in hand.

Cooking Classes

Where we roll up our sleeves, share stories, and cook side by side.

Where I take you to my favorite corners of San Sebastián — one bite at a time.

Content & Recipes

From reels to recipes, this is how I keep sharing, even when you’re far away.

Me, Just Eating

Because sometimes, I’m simply enjoying food the way I love most —
surrounded by people.
