Maria's Food Tour
My family of 4 absolutely loved Maria's cooking class. We made empanadas and ceviche - so good. Maria has a beautiful and welcoming home. It was nice to get out of Quito and see how an Equadorian family lives. We were able to make a last minute booking, were picked up at our hotel and returned to the hotel after. I highly recommend spending an afternoon with Maria, learning to cook a couple of local dishes and learning more about Equador.

So much fun and so much food!
Maria took me to the market and then to her house to make ceviche and empanadas. The tour was really fun. We walked around the market ate a whole bunch of different things. Wow this was my second trip to Ecuador, I tasted a whole bunch of different foods that I didn’t taste on the first trip. The vendors were all really nice and willing to hand out samples. Then we went to Maria’s house in the suburbs of Quito and cooked together. She made sure to use ingredients that I could find at home...Leer más

A “must do” in Quito, Ecuador!
Lovely culinary experience for 3 generations! Excellent hostess and instructor in Maria! Four teenagers enjoyed the entire cooking experience, from cutting the vegetables to crimping the empanadas!

Thank you so much for your kind review! It was truly a pleasure to host three generations in the kitchen. I loved guiding the experience, and we’re thrilled to hear the teenagers enjoyed every step—from chopping vegetables to crimping empanadas. We hope to welcome your family again soon!

Private cooking class in a traditional Ecuadorian home
Maria generously opened her own home and kitchen to my husband and I for this hands-on cooking experience. We learned how to choose green plantains and make cheese stuffed empanadas, which are delicious and healthy - a real game changer if you want to avoid gluten or typical wheat flour doughs. Pressing the empanadas was fun - we have already ordered a tortilla press for our home use and will make this recipe frequently.
We also made fresh shrimp ceviche and learned that Ecuadorians cook the sh...Leer más

Excellent
We spent an enjoyable afternoon with Maria. Upon arrival we toured her diverse garden to see some of the ingredients that would be part of our lunch – tree tomatoes, lemon verbena, etc. Her home, in a gated community, is comfortable and authentically decorated. Maria was quickly accommodating to adjust one dish to be vegetarian. She shared tips on making the dishes and provided the recipes to us later that day via WhatsApp. We intentionally scheduled this activity within the first 24 hours of...Leer más
