Exploring the vibrant market was a highlight, as we reveled in the fresh spices and local produce that truly captured the essence of the region. The hands-on cooking session was equally rewarding; under the guidance of a skilled instructor, we learned to prepare traditional dishes that we still talk about today. One minor suggestion would be to include a bit more time for tasting throughout the process, as we could have happily savored our creations even longer.
