GOOD REVIEWS
{ "trip_advisor" : [{"author_name" : "kerrytaz", "rating" : 5, "body" : "If you are looking to explore outside of Dublin and want a fun, dynamic, and talented hostess, this is the experience for you. Elena was warm, charming, funny, and put together a meal that my wife and I enjoyed very much (just made it at home last night, in fact). Our train and travel schedule did not allow for a lot of cooking together, but the tour of Skerries, the cocktails overlooking the sea, and the Romanian influenced Irish meal made the experience once-in-a-lifetime. Very warm and inviting family and well worth the trip to Skerries. Highly recommended."}, {"author_name" : "Tim S", "rating" : 5, "body" : "We had a beautiful dinner including appetizers and drinks, borsh, duck with potatoes and salad, Tiramisu for dessert.\r\n\r\nIt was fun to spend the evening with Lili, Patrick, and Natasha. We would strongly recommend having dinner with them when you are in Dublin or Skerries."}, {"author_name" : "Jill B", "rating" : 5, "body" : "I was looking for an interactive cooking experience for myself, my husband and our 13-year old son, and I'm so happy I found Lili and her family! She was so wonderfully welcoming, and not only did she make a great meal, but she took us all around Skerries - which is really beautiful and so very different than Dublin. Beyond food, we love making meaningful connections when we travel, and this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. I'd highly recommend this and send our thanks to Lili, Patrick and Nadia!"}, {"author_name" : "Beth R", "rating" : 5, "body" : "If you like to meet people, get an idea of what life is like in a beautiful town (and house) outside of Dublin and have the experience of making a delicious meal with amazing people, I would recommend this! Lili is dynamic and friendly and her family is so nice, too- including the dog. She was available just a few days in advance for me and volunteered to show me some sights in the town before going to her spectacular house, where she expertly put together the best meal I had in Ireland (with just a little help from me). She was interested in making me feel comfortable and welcome, in what I liked to eat and in making something healthy. The meal was gourmet and so delicious! She is the perfect hostess and a talented cook. If you have the chance to do this, don’t hesitate for a minute. The experience is worth at least triple of what you pay. I have such great memories of this experience. Thanks, Lili!!"}, {"author_name" : "ulysses06", "rating" : 5, "body" : "An absolutely delightful evening: drinks on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Skerries shoreline, followed by a spectacular multi-course dinner. But best is all is the conversation with Elena and Patrick - a unique and unforgettable part of our visit to Ireland!"}] }
