As an Airbnb employee, I joined this experience with teammates s and appreciated Ruben’s warm hospitality. We visited a local market to pick out ingredients and then prepared a light, tasty lunch together. The cooking was minimal (mostly chopping ceviche), and as someone who’s pregnant, I wish dietary needs had been asked about in advance. I think that's a simple fix though! Ruben did prepare a cooked alternative, which I appreciated.

I had the chance to do this experience with a group of my Airbnb colleagues. Our host Ruben was lovely, kind and knowledgeable. The morning of the experience he asked our group if we'd like to join him at the local market to shop for the the ingredients for the meal we'd make together. It was the hottest day of the year in Paris, so the walk back to his kitchen/studio was a bit hot, but it was a nice touch to see the local market. Together, we made a lovely light ceviche and Ruben tought us some important knife skills for handling fish. While the heat made the experience a bit more challenging, Ruben plans to add AC to the classroom space -- which is lovely and airy and spacious. Overall, a lovely experience and great for a group!

As an Airbnb employee, I had the chance to do this experience with a group of my colleagues. We started in a local market shopping for ingredients and walked though a lovely neighborhood back to the cooking facility. Ruben is a wonderful host, very welcoming and hospitable. We had the unfortunate luck of being there on the hottest day of the year but he adjusted the menu to a ceviche to avoid any actual cooking. I think we were one of his first groups and over time, I'm sure Ruben will work out a few early kinks to make this a wonderful experience.

Since I work at Airbnb, I was able to try out this experience for free! I had a wonderful time at “LearnCooking with Ruben.” His brand-new workshop space is bright and welcoming, and Ruben himself is both deeply knowledgeable and effortlessly charismatic. He guided our group with patience and flair, making every step fun and accessible. I’d recommend this class to anyone looking to enjoy outstanding cooking (and eating!) while in Paris.
