"The workshop was a lot of fun because the organizers were all Spanish. We had to put in practice the theory that we had learnt during the past 2 years. The cooking was very nice because of the difficulty. At the end of this day, I felt like I had been in Spain for a while"(Chris, Christelijk college, Ermelo)
"It was a very fun and educative day. I learned how to prepare paella. The day after, I prepared paella for my family. Our group won"(Alec, Christelijk college, Ermelo)
